Pittsburgh's preseason ended in heartbreak Thursday night, as the Buffalo Bills scored late to beat the Steelers 28-27 at Highmark Stadium. Head coach Mike McCarthy watched his roster compete one final time before decision day arrived.
By Friday afternoon, the mood inside the building turned serious, and the first wave of cuts landed hard. What happens next will shape how Pittsburgh's sideline looks in Week 1.
The Pittsburgh Steelers released 11 players Friday, their first move in what will be a busy weekend of roster decisions. The team must reach the 53-man limit, and multiple reports indicate the front office has until Sunday at 8 p.m. ET to finish the job.
The August 28 list included tight end Jaheim Bell, offensive linemen Greg Crippen and Jaylon Guilbeau, and defensive backs Jack Henderson, Brandon Hill and Daryl Porter. Wide receivers Jakobie Keeney-James, Tamon Lynum, Cornell Powell and Isaiah Winstead were also let go, along with running back Alex Tecza.

The Pittsburgh Steelers executed a wave of roster moves a few days out from their preseason finale against the Buffalo Bills.
On Monday, the Steelers not only activated Jalen Ramsey off the physically unable to perform list, but signed cornerback Jaylon Guilbeau and running back Alex Tecza, as well as placing defensive back Israel Mukuamu on the reserve/injured list and releasing rookie kicker Laith Marjan.
Guilbeau played four years at Texas (2022-2025) before joining the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent following the 2026 NFL Draft. He recorded 124 combined tackles, one sack, one interception, and 10 passes defended during his college career.
Tecza had a similar path to that of Eli Heidenreich, as he's also a Pittsburgh native who attended Mt. Lebanon High School and played collegiate football at Navy. During his three seasons (2023-2025) as a Navy Midshipman, Tecza recorded 2,687 yards from scrimmage and 26 total touchdowns.
It remains to be seen if both players can get up to speed in time to get a lot of playing time during the preseason matchup against the Bills, but both players are more than likely competing for practice squad spots this close to final roster cuts.

The Steelers have made a couple of signings on Monday.
Pittsburgh announced the club has signed cornerback Jaylon Guilbeau and running back Alex Tecza.
Both players entered the league as undrafted free agents in the spring. Guilbeau played his college ball at Texas while Tecza was at the Naval Academy.
Additionally, the Steelers formally activated defensive back Jalen Ramsey off of the physically unable to perform list.
As a corresponding move, the team placed Israel Mukuamu on injured reserve. Pittsburgh already had a roster spot open after letting go of kicker Laith Marjan.

A third Carolina Panthers player has hit the shelf on Tuesday.
Cornerback Jaylon Guilbeau has been placed on the reserve/non-football injury list. The 22-year-old defender and the rest of the team's rookie class reported back to Charlotte this morning, right before the start of training camp.
Guilbeau signed with the Panthers this past spring as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Texas. The 5-foot-11, 190-pounder played four seasons for the Longhorns—amassing 124 combined tackles (8.0 for a loss), an interception, 10 passes defensed and a sack.
Earlier in the afternoon, Carolina placed a pair of veteran starters—right tackle Taylor Moton and cornerback Jaycee Horn—on the NFI list. Horn is expected to return soon after sustaining a cut on his foot while Moton, who was diagnosed with a blood clot in his lung in late June, seems likely to miss some time into the regular season.
The Panthers did not provide any additional information on the nature of Guilbeau's injury.

Guilbeault has to read from a prepared notice. The failure of small business news was because of the Liberals stupid legislation. I certainly wish voters weren't sooooo incredibly misinformed.
