McCullers had one tackle in Pittsburgh's 27-17 win over Cincinnati on Sunday night.

McCullers finished his rookie season with two tackles.

ESPN Steelers reporter Scott Brown believes sixth-round NT Daniel McCullers could be ticketed for the practice squad.

The Steelers don't have any proven options behind Steve McLendon, but McCullers is a long shot to open the season as the No. 2 nose tackle. At 6'7/352, he could eventually be a two-down run-stuffer in Pittsburgh's 3-4. McCullers played just two seasons at Tennessee and is going to be a massive project. Brown believes anything the Steelers get from McCullers in 2014 will be a bonus.
