As final roster cuts were made on Tuesday, there are mixed emotions coming out of Pittsburgh for Spartan fans. Defensive back Justin Layne survived judgement day, but wide receiver Cody White was waived by the team.
The #Steelers plan to keep WR Cody White on their practice squad if he clears waivers, per source.
Was on the PS last season and played a decent number of first-team reps during camp.

Cody White had a very good training camp, so getting cut was somewhat of a surprise. The Steelers may have lost their chance at keeping him as well, as another team may claim him off of waivers, after a strong preseason performance.
Woah.
Surprise #Steelers cuts include BJ Finney, Arthur Maulet & Quincy Roche.
Jamir Jones makes the team. So does Benny Snell & Justin Layne.

Justin Layne has been underwhelming so far in his time in Pittsburgh, but is getting another chance to solidify a spot on the roster.
