Steelers announce official roster cuts for 2019

The deadline has passed and all NFL teams must have their rosters trimmed from 90 to 53. We’ve seen lots of names released over the last 24 hours but the team has released the official list of cutdowns on the team’s site.

Here is how the cuts went down.

On offense the team released quarterback Devlin Hodges, running backs Trey Edmunds, Travon McMillian and Malik Williams, receivers Trey Griffey, Johnny Holton, Tevin Jones, Brandon Reilly, Eli Rogers and Diontae Spencer, and tight ends Micky Crum, Kevin Rader, Christian Scotland-Williamson and Trevor Wood. On the offensive line Garrett Brumfield, Derwin Gray, J.C. Hassanauer, Patrick Morris and Damian Prince were released.

Defensively the team let go of defensive backs Marcus Allen, Dravon Askew-Henry, Marcelis Branch, Jhvonte Dean, P.J. Locke and Trevon Mathis, linebackers Jayrone Elliott, Christian Kuntz, Tegray Scales, Sutton Smith and Robert Spillane, and defensive linemen Winston Craig, Greg Gilmore, Henry Mondeaux, Casey Sayles and Conor Sheehy.

In the battle for kicker and punter, the incumbents won out, with Matthew Wright and Ian Berryman both being released.

In the coming days, we will dive deep into this group as well as the team’s practice squad which should be wrapped up late on Sunday. In addition, the final flourish of free agency will hit as teams scoop up cuts from other squads.
