On Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Steelers will have to finalize their 53-man roster. We've offered up our roster prediction and ESPN put one out as well. The Steelers have multiple spots on the roster up for grabs and several spots have been in heated position battles all preseason long.

Now that Pittsburgh has played each of its preseason games, here's a projection for the first Steelers' 53-man roster. While this exercise was relatively easy, there were a few tough decisions and one specific surprise in the form of a former third-round pick who enjoyed a solid training camp and preseason.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have cut ties with former New England Patriots cornerback Mikey Victor, the team announced. Victor was signed by the team in August after injuries, and was part of the first wave of 11 cuts the team made on Friday.
