Kapinos was among the 21 players cut by the Steelers Friday as the team settled on a 53-man roster.||||||| Kapinos, who split punting duties with Daniel Sepulveda the last two seasons, was bothered by a lingering back injury during training camp and did not punt in any of the team's four exhibition games.
