Pittsburgh Steelers seek to strengthen squad before weekend’s game against Broncos – NFL News
The Pittsburgh Steelers are seeking to strengthen their squad before going into their weekend game against the Broncos with a new signees and reshuffling at key positions.
The team is seen exposed at its secondary depth and has decided to sign their oldee Anthony Madison to strengthen the position.
The player has played for the Steelers for five seasons in the past. He has rejoined the outfit again before their one of the crucial games of the playoff.
It is the Steelers first game on the wild card chance. They are in a must win situation in the knockout stage, and have already met with bad news on the injuries front.
Ryan Clark, the Steelers safety, has been ruled out of the weekend game due to his illness while there is no word about the latest fitness situation of Ben Roethlisberger.
Roethlisberger called the Big Ben missed the regular season game against the St. Louis Rams but did not feel fully fit in the San Francisco 49ers and Cleveland Browns games – the only games he has played since his ankle injury.
He was seen uncomfortable in his throws and interceptions due to limitation in the mobility and the Steelers find it too difficult to cope with his absence anymore.
His latest injury is yet to be confirmed while his side in the meantime is struggling to prepare a competitive line-up for the Saturday’s tie.
A bad news on the Big Ben injury front will not serve well into their chances and hopes for a win over the Broncos.
It will definitely make things worse for them amid the unavailability of cornerbacks Keenan Lewis and Cortez Allen.
Both the players were injured in the last game of the regular season of the National Football League (NFL) that the Pittsburgh Steelers played against the Cleveland Browns.
In addition, the side has confirmed to have placed Curtis Brown, another cornerback on the injured reserve list, ending the postseason for him altogether.
The Steelers who were well in the race for the American Football Conference (AFC) north title could not hold to their hopes as their archrivals the Baltimore Ravens claimed the divisional trophy.
One of the disadvantages for the Steelers was their loss in two games they played against the Ravens earlier in the regular season. Despite that their score was tied at 12-4 on the league table, they lost the tie breaker to the Ravens.
