The Pittsburgh Steelers must decide on their 53-man roster by 4 pm ET on Saturday Black Javon Hargrave Jersey , but that won¡¯t necessarily be the end of the road for all the players released by the Black-and-gold over the weekend. At 1 pm ET on Sunday, the rush to sign players to the practice squad will begin, and most of the names the Steelers are expected to add should come from their current, 90-man roster.Pittsburgh can sign a maximum of 10 players to their practice squad, 11 if one of them is International Player Pathway program member Christian Scotland-Williamson. To be eligible for the practice squad, a player cannot have spent more than three previous seasons on any NFL practice squad before. He also cannot have more than two accrued seasons to his name ¡ª a season in which a player was on a 53-man roster, or injured reserve, or PUP for six or more regular-season games. However, of the 10 practice-squad names, only four players in the group can have as many as two accrued seasons.All players are paid weekly and must earn a minimum of $7600 a week in 2018. There is no maximum a team is allowed to pay a practice-squad player, but the cost of the group must be included in the team¡¯s salary-cap allowance.Practice-squad players can take part in all team meetings and practice sessions, but cannot dress on game day unless they¡¯re promoted to the active roster. While a player can be promoted at any time during the week, a player on the active, 53-man roster must be released or added to injured reserve to create room for the incoming player.If a player is promoted to the active roster Black Artie Burns Jersey , he must receive a minimum of three game checks, even if he¡¯s released before having spent three weeks on the 53-man roster. A released player must then clear waivers before he can be re-signed to the practice squad.Any NFL team can sign a player from the Steelers¡¯ practice squad throughout the season without compensation, but he must be added to their active roster. The only restrictions are when that team is an upcoming opponent and, in this case, the player must be signed at least six days before such a matchup or 10 days in advance if Pittsburgh is on a bye-week.There are currently 56 players on the roster in 2018 eligible to to be signed to the practice squad this year, but it¡¯s worth noting that several of them are obvious candidates to make the final 53-man roster regardless.Mike Tomlin baffled with NFL not reversing fumble on Browns¡¯ punt return In the aftermath of the Pittsburgh Steelers¡¯ weird tie with the Cleveland Browns in Week 1, many who know me personally, and some who don¡¯t on social media, have asked my thoughts on the game. It was disappointing, but one play stood out to me regarding a situation which turned the tide in the game. After the Steelers¡¯ scored their third touchdown to take a 21-7 lead, the defense forced a punt on the ensuing drive. The punt ¡®appeared¡¯ to glance off rookie running back Nick Chubb¡¯s face mask and was recovered by safety Sean Davis. It was a huge play, but the ruling on the field was Davis simply downed the football, not recovered a fumble. Mike Tomlin challenged the call, but it was not overturned Black Joe Haden Jersey , rather upheld.During his weekly Tuesday press conference, Tomlin was asked about what happened on the play, and an explanation which might have followed by the league office.He suggested he had no idea why the play was upheld, and not overturned.To add onto this, Tomlin spoke about how the league office made it a point to say a Myles Garrett roughing the passer call should not have occurred, but hasn¡¯t said a word regarding what looked to be a botched call.Calls are missed every game, but the purpose of replay is to correct mistakes like that one. To make sure the call is correct.Needless to say, if the Steelers would have been granted the football, there is a strong chance they are 1-0, and not 0-0-1, heading into Week 2. The Browns didn¡¯t score on their next drive, but it was after this call when the Browns clawed their way back into the game via back-to-back turnovers by the Steelers.An unfortunate turn of events, but also befuddling how the league hasn¡¯t mentioned it since the game ended on Sunday.
