Steelers bring back Elliott, Hodges

The Steelers are obviously a little concerned about the hip injury to linebacker T.J. Watt. So much so, in fact, they're going against their usual beliefs.

With Watt nursing a hip injury suffered in the fourth quarter of Sunday night's 33-3 loss against the Patriots, the Steelers signed linebacker Jayrone Elliott to their active roster and added quarterback Devlin Hodges to their practice squad.

The Steelers have traditionally been a team that has three quarterbacks on their active roster and both GM Kevin Colbert and head coach Mike Tomlin have said the organization believes in building a roster in that fashion.
