Steelers Activate Maurkice Pouncey And Place Him On Exempt List

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey has been activated and placed on the exempt/commissioner permission list.

The Steelers put in a request with the NFL for a two-day roster exemption and the league granted them the exemption.

Pouncey was suspended for three games following a brawl at the end of the November 14 Steelers vs. Browns game and after an appeal, it was reduced to two games.
