The Steelers’ blockbuster acquisitions of ex-Dolphins All-Pro CB Jalen Ramsey and Pro Bowl TE Jonnu Smith have flipped both sides of the ball upside down.
Pittsburgh didn’t replace Minkah Fitzpatrick in our updated prediction — instead choosing to run with three safeties on the 53-man roster.

What’s changed?
In our previous 53-man roster prediction, the Steelers carried three tight ends, six cornerbacks, and four safeties — but with the loss of Fitzpatrick and the additions of Ramsey and Smith, one position group had to give.
In our updated projection, the Arthur Smith-led offense opts to keep four tight ends, with TE Connor Heyward earning the fourth spot.
Ramsey’s versatility to play anywhere in the secondary allows the Steelers to roll with just three safeties. Unfortunately, CB Brandin Echols didn’t make the final 53-man roster projection.
