PITTSBURGH – The Steelers placed one player on their Reserve/Injured List and released five others, reducing their roster to 84 players. The team needs to release four more players before Tuesday's 4 p.m. deadline to get their roster to the league-mandated 80 players.
Rookie running back Baron Batch was placed on the team's Reserve/Injured List after suffering a season-ending knee injury in training camp. Batch was the team's seventh-round draft pick in this past year's NFL Draft.
The five players released include tight end Vaughn Charlton, cornerback Kevin Dockery, wide receiver Eric Greenwood, wide receiver Kenneth Moore and tight end Miguel Chavis, who was waived/injured.
