The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to trim the fat from their roster to get down to 53 players ahead of their Week 1 matchup with the New York Jets. On Tuesday, they made a very noteworthy cut.

The Steelers have released veteran wide receiver Robert Woods. Pittsburgh signed Woods this past offseason after he spent a year with the Houston Texans. However, a lackluster camp and poor showings in the preseason saw him fall down the pecking order and led to his release.

This all but guarantees a roster spot for Scotty Miller. The Steelers are also reportedly trying to add another veteran wideout, with Jakobi Meyers being the biggest name. The Las Vegas Raiders wideout requested a trade, and Pittsburgh is one of the top teams to watch to make a move for the 1,000-yard receiver.
