The Pittsburgh Steelers have cut K Jeff Reed and signed K Shaun Suisham. Reed, who has a history of off-field incidents, was just 15-22 this season on field goal attempts. The nail in the coffin was likely a 26-yard miss against New England during Week 10. Suisham is the typical journeyman kicker, having bounced around [...]

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward left Sunday night’s game against New England after suffering a concussion and did not return. Ward’s streak of 186 consecutive games with a reception, third-longest in NFL history, came to an end. Ward said after the game he expects to play next week against Oakland. He was hit in the [...]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed LT Max Starks (neck) on injured reserve, ending his season. Starks will undergo surgery to repair a damaged cervical vertebrae, but the injury is not considered to be career-threatening. He should be good to go for training camp next season. Ben Roethlisberger will have to deal with backups at both [...]

Pittsburgh Steelers LT Max Starks could be lost for the season with a cervical vertebrae injury, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Starks suffered the injury during Monday’s win over Cincinnati. Starks could be joining RT Willie Colon (Achilles) on injured reserve, leaving Ben Roethlisberger without both his starting tackles. The Steelers will have a tough [...]

Pittsburgh Steelers LB James Harrison returned to practice Thursday, one day after threatening to retire due to the NFL’s new policy on helmet-to-helmet hits. Harrison’s threat was empty from the get go, but ESPN decided to make a story out of it anyway. Coach Mike Tomlin handled the situation effectively, allowing Harrison to cool his [...]

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger is eligible to return to the team beginning Monday. The Steelers are on bye in Week 5, so Roethlisberger will get an extra week of practice to shake off the rust before facing Cleveland in Week 6. We expect Roethlisberger to be a top-10 option the rest of the way.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed QB Dennis Dixon (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. Dixon was handed a golden opportunity this preseason to capitalize on Ben Roethlisberger’s suspension and prove he’s a starting-caliber quarterback. He failed to show he’s ready to lead an offense, however, and tore his meniscus during Week 2. He’s looking [...]

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Charlie Batch will start over Byron Leftwich (knee) against Tampa Bay, according to Coach Mike Tomlin. Batch was dreadful after being pressed into action against Tennessee, so this decision is curious. We wouldn’t bet against seeing Leftwich in the game sooner rather than later on Sunday.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Dennis Dixon (knee) has been diagnosed with a torn meniscus and will miss 3-5 weeks. And there goes Dixon’s opportunity to establish himself as a starting-caliber quarterback. The Steelers will go with the newly re-signed Byron Leftwich in Week 3, as Dixon’s long-term future with the team now becomes clouded. He’s a [...]

Tennessee Titans QB Vince Young was benched for Kerry Collins after completing 7-10 passes for 66 yards, with two INT’s and a lost fumble. Collins came in to throw for 149 yards with a TD and an INT, as a quarterback controversy is sure to be in full-swing this week in Nashville. Steelers’ QB Dennis [...]
