As expected, the Pittsburgh Steelers made a roster move on Saturday and it included Tyler Murphy being promoted from the practice squad to the 53 man roster. To make room for Murphy on the roster, cornerback Cortez Allen was placed on the Reserve/Injured list.
Murphy will now dress on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs and serve as the backup to Landry Jones, who will be making his first career start. This also now means that you can expect Ben Roethlisberger (knee/questionable) to be inactive on Sunday along with backup Mike Vick (hamstring/out).
