Steelers Weigh In On New Additions To Roster

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- There are two new faces on the Steelers' roster.

One of them, however, is pretty familiar to Steelers fans.

Plaxico Burress is back to help fill holes at wide receiver.

And Bryan Hoyer will be backing up Charlie Batch this Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.

Coach Mike Tomlin says he has great deal of confidence in Batch, and says there will only be "subtle" changes to maximize Batch's strengths as starting QB.

Offensive Lineman Max Starks was asked by a reporter about both Batch and Burress.

"I'm really appreciative to have them back and have them in the positions that they're in," said Starks. "We're going to keep on rolling."

Defensive Lineman Brett Keisel said: "Charlie, when he's at the helm, we have a lot of confidence in him."

Hoyer and Burress are expected to practice with the team on Wednesday.
