STEELERS 101

The Pittsburgh Steelers were off on Monday, but their front office kept busy making a roster move to boost depth in the depleted backfield as the Steelers signed veteran tight end/fullback Justin Peelle to a one-year contract. The 6-4, 254-pound 10-year veteran will take the spot of fullback/tight end David Johnson who was lost for the season after tearing his ACL in the preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Peelle, who was originally drafted out of Oregon in the fourth round of the 2002 NFL Draft (103 overall), has played for  four NFL teams in his career (Chargers, Miami Dolphins, Atlanta Falcons and San Francisco 49ers) and recorded 123 receptions for 1003 yards (8.2 YPC) and nine touchdowns.
