PITTSBURGH, PA – The Pittsburgh Steelers have actually trimmed their quarterback room to three. This makes them one action closer to their 53-man lineup, cutting five more players to move from 85 to 80 on the NFL’s 2nd trim date. The most unexpected name on their list is quarterback Chris Oladokun, who was drafted in the seventh round this spring. According to Pro Football Network’s Aaron Wilson, the group has informed the fourth-string QB that he’s been launched.
Chris Oladokun seemed like a confident practice squad addition to the Steelers’ quarterback space. He wasn’t expected to be part of the quarterback competitors, but with the Steelers using a draft tease another passer seemed like it strengthened him into a function this season.
After not taking a single snap throughout training camp, Oladokun’s brief time in Pittsburgh has actually come to an end. This could mean the Steelers are set on carrying all 3 of their other quarterbacks into the season (and no trade for Mason Rudolph). Right now, Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph are continuing to fight for the starting job at quarterback.
