Pittsburgh trimmed Mark Robinson at the 53-man roaster deadline, a surprise given his special-teams pulse and steady development. The club added Carson Bruener, a seventh-round rookie, to cover a similar role while parting ways with veteran punter Cameron Johnston, a move that stunned Steelers Nation. The moves thin LB depth and shake up special-teams duties as rosters firm up for the season.

Bruener’s path likely tightens Robinson’s exit as roster balance tilts toward special-teams specialists and youthful depth. Fantasy watchers should monitor how these changes shift kick coverage duties and potential early opportunities on defense and special teams alike as preseason concludes.
