The Pittsburgh Steelers, after a 28-27 loss to the Bills in their preseason finale on August 27, must finalize their roster by Sunday night. Head coach Mike McCarthy noted the team's focus on evaluating four quarterbacks, though keeping all four may complicate roster decisions. Will Howard's performance in the preseason has raised questions, especially with two veterans likely securing starting positions. Additionally, rookie receiver Germie Bernard has made a strong case for a larger role after several impressive outings in preseason games.
