Just coming off a 3-1 preseaon, the Steelers can now focus on the games that count. But their defense lost one the key components to its dominance as middle linebacker, James Farrior will be out for the year with a torn groin muscle. The Steelers will be on the look for a linebacker to fill Keyaron Fox's spot as he'll move up to right side middle linebacker.

New Addition

Pittsburgh, PA-- The Steelers have signed rookie linebacker, Kaluka Maiava. The Hawaii native went to USC and was drafted in the 4th round (pick 104 overall) by the Cleveland Browns before getting released in the preseason. Since Lawrence Timmons and Keyaron Fox have been named the starting middle linebackers, Maiava was called in for backup and to play on Special Teams. He will wear #50.

Here's the depth chart for 2009:

[Spider Tre]

It got ugly and it got ugly quick. Ben threw 2 TD's and 5 picks. No, that's not a typo. The Titans basically had their number all night long as Kerry Collins threw 4 TD's and 0 picks for his Titans club. Rookie Mike Wallace had his name known in a hurry as he caught 7 passes for 159 yards and caught a 65 yard TD. Parker ran 14 times for 30 yards as the Titans filled every hole all game long. Stefan Logan had a busy night as he returned 7 kicks for 200 yards and 3 punts for 32 yards.
