Charlie Batch Doubles Down, ‘Still Adamant’ Steelers Won’t Keep 4 QBs
The Pittsburgh Steelers kept all four of their quarterbacks on their initial 53-man roster.

‘Expect Him To Contribute’: Khan Has High Hopes For Robert Spears-Jennings’ Rookie Year
The Pittsburgh Steelers found a way to keep all 10 of their draft picks on the 53-man roster, including their seventh-round picks Eli Heidenreich and Robert Spears-Jennings.
