The Pittsburgh Steelers finished their 2025 preseason schedule Thursday night against the Carolina Panthers. Less than 24 hours later, they began making roster cuts.
The Steelers announced Friday the organization released 11 players the day after their preseason concluded.
The list of offensive players released included quarterback Logan Woodside, running back Evan Hull, tight end Kevin Foelsch, guard Doug Nester, and tackle Julian Pearl.
On defense, the Steelers released linebacker Kenny Willekes and four defensive backs — Kam Alexander, Quindell Johnson, Kyler McMichael, and Mikey Victor.
The team also moved on from long snapper Jake McQuaide.
Steelers Release Long Snapper Jake McQuaide
Long snappers don’t get a lot of attention. But of the cuts Pittsburgh made Friday, McQuaide was arguably the most significant.
Steelers starting long snapper Christian Kuntz suffered an injury during Week 2 of the preseason. The team moving on from McQuaide is an indication that Kuntz could be ready for the regular season.
“The most notable cut is McQuaide, as it’s a sign that LS Christian Kuntz, who was injured in the team’s second preseason game, could be ready to go Week 1,” Steelers Depot’s Joe Clark wrote. “Still, the team could look to add McQuaide to its practice squad for insurance if Kuntz, who reportedly suffered a fractured sternum, can’t go.”
