The Steelers did keep some roster bubble players such as Elijah Riley and Chandon Sullivan. They have also kept offensive tackle Dylan Cook, and seventh-round rookie Spencer Anderson. 

The release of Fehoko means the team will move forward with eight defensive linemen. The fight for the final spots likely came down to Fehoko, Montravius Adams and Armon Watts, who both made the team. 

At cornerback, James Pierre sticks around after being a question mark. Miles Boykin will also remain on the team as a special teams ace and wide receiver.
