Now that the Pittsburgh Steelers have somewhat finalized their 53-man roster, they still have a few moves to make. On Thursday, Damontae Kazee and Calvin Austin III were officially placed on IR, meaning they'll miss the first four games, at minimum. That opened up two spots on the 53-man roster, as Marcus Allen and Trent Scott were signed back to the team. Now, the black and gold have to finalize their 16-man practice squad before Week 1 in Cincinnati.
