Now that teams have finalized their 53-man rosters on Saturday after a flurry of cuts, they will begin filling out their practice squads. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, the practice squad has already been announced and a few preseason standouts have made the cut.

The biggest name on the list is wide receiver Justin Brown, who is a former Penn State and Oklahoma standout.

Brown showed flashes of potential throughout the preseason, but he was among the final cuts as the Steelers looked to go with his former Penn State teammate Derek Moye instead.

Below are the players that have been added to the team’s practice squad:

Running back Alvester Alexander, defensive end Brian Arnfelt, linebacker Alan Baxter, wide receiver Justin Brown, linebacker Terence Garvin, offensive tackle Chris Hubbard, offensive tackle Joe Long and cornerback Devin Smith

Running back Alvester Alexander is also an intriguing player that could get a call to the active roster later down the road if injuries continue to plague the Steelers backfield.
