Steelers keep Heidenreich amid post-cut poaching chatter
The Steelers kept all three surprising rookies on their 53-man roster, including Eli Heidenreich, despite talk that another team might poach him after cutdown day. No waivers were claimed, and veterans were moved to the practice squad. Heidenreich’s versatility and standout special-teams work helped cement his spot, with some chatter that a different team could have claimed him had he been waived.
