The Steelers cut another 10 players Monday morning, including ILB Tanner Muse and S Kenny Robinson.
Both players have had strong camps and played well during the preseason, so Pittsburg might be hoping these guys clear waivers and can be added to the practice squad.
Alexander was the last linebacker signed but he came in for a visit a couple weeks before signing, probably before we signed Kwiatkoski. I think that both Kwiatkoski and Muse were brought in to compete for the 3rd/4th linebacker spots after Alexander left without a deal, and then when he signed it cut those spots down to 1, and Mark Robinson has been a favourite of the coaching staff.
Looks like they did keep 4, which is what I was really expecting. Herbig might get some snaps inside as well this season.
