Steelers Finalize 53-Man Roster, Release Beanie Bishop Leal Woods

The Pittsburgh Steelers finalized their 53-man roster ahead of the 2025 NFL season, making several notable cuts that surprised fans and analysts. Among those waived were defensive back Beanie Bishop Jr., who had a strong rookie season with four interceptions, and veteran wide receiver Robert Woods, whose performance has declined in recent years. The Steelers also parted ways with cornerbacks Chuck Clark and James Pierre as the team revamped its cornerback room by adding stars like Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay. Other notable cuts included defensive lineman DeMarvin Leal and several wide receivers and defensive players, reflecting the team's strategy adjustments. The Steelers will open the season with four quarterbacks, led by veteran Aaron Rodgers, supported by Mason Rudolph, Skylar Thompson, and rookie Will Howard. These changes come as Pittsburgh prepares to face the New York Jets in Week One at MetLife Stadium.
