The Steelers are back down to two kickers

on their 90-man roster.They were up to three after signing Matthew Wright as an undrafted free agent Mike Hilton Jersey , but Matt McCrane is now out of the picture. The Steelers announced that they released McCrane and cornerback Jack Tocho on Thursday.McCrane signed with the team ahead of Week 17 when Chris Boswell was placed on injured reserve. He went 3-of-3 on field goals and hit his only extra point try that weekend. McCrane also went 5-of-9 on field goals and 5-of-5 on extra points in three games with the Raiders and hit all three extra points he tried in one game for the Cardinals as he bounced around the league last year.Boswell struggled in 2018 and will now compete with Wright for the job over the next few months.Tocho signed with the Steelers after the Alliance of American Football shut down in April. He was a 2017 seventh-round pick of the Vikings, but has never appeared in a regular season game.

EDTShareTweetShareShareComplete list of Steelers 2019 pre-draft visitors and their historical significance With the arrival of Wisconsin edge rusher Andrew Van Ginkel at team facilities on Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Steelers have now officially used up their full allowance 30 out of town pre-draft visitors in 2019. For the first time in several years Joe Haden Jersey , every player the Steelers met with in Pittsburgh has been reported by the local media, with the credit going to Bob Labriola of Steelers.com for revealing most of the guests this offseason. While no one position dominated the list of invites, running backs and cornerbacks feature more than most with seven and six prospects respectively, while defensive and offensive line barely got a look in with just one player from either side invited to the Steel City. The Steelers only met with three edge rushers Vance McDonald Jersey , three safeties and three tight ends in Pittsburgh, showing slightly more interest in the wide receivers (4) and inside linebacker groups (5). Quarterback and interior offensive lineman did not figure at all among the total of 33 players hosted by the Steelers, a group that included three local prospects who do not count against the team’s overall allowance.While the Steelers met with few obvious first-round options this year, that has been something of the norm for them in recent seasons. Looking back over 11 years of names who have been invited to Pittsburgh for a pre-draft visit Tyson Alualu Jersey , there appears to be much greater significance to the visits for the prospects selected after round one. Of the 90 players chosen by the Steelers since 2008, 38 of them were hosted in Pittsburgh ahead of the draft that year, with the majority of those selections coming in the fourth-round or later. Historically, the Steelers pick three players each season who had been welcomed to the city as pre-draft visitors Justin Hunter Jersey , however, that trend has not quite held up in each of the last two years.We would like to thank Valdosta State Football for providing the image of Stephen Denmark used in the graphic above and also Dave Winder of Murray State for the image of Quincy Williams.
