The Steelers will hold their first two of 14 organized team activities before the draft April 20 and 21, according to a list of their spring drills released yesterday.

The OTAs, as they are called, are voluntary activities that include practices without pads. In addition to the 14 voluntary sessions, coach Mike Tomlin will hold a required minicamp the weekend of May 1-3.

The remaining OTAs will take place May 19-21, May 26-28 and June 9-11.

Also, Frank Summers, a 5-9, 241-pound running back from UNLV, paid an official visit to the Steelers yesterday.

Quarterback Patrick Ramsey has signed a one-year deal with the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee announced that Ramsey joined the Titans after two seasons with the Denver Broncos. Ramsey has completed 511 of 913 passes for 5,930 yards with 35 touchdowns and 30 interceptions in his career. Before Denver, he played for the Redskins and Jets. Ramsey worked under Titans offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger with the Broncos in 2007.

A judge rejected Michael Vick's plan to emerge from bankruptcy, telling the suspended NFL star to rethink how he'll pay back his creditors. The ex-Atlanta Falcons quarterback, who is serving a 23-month prison sentence for bankrolling a dogfighting operation, had outlined a plan during a hearing based on the goal of returning to NFL football. Vick said he's optimistic about being reinstated after he is released from prison and that he believes he can play pro football for another 10 years. But Judge Frank Santoro said there is no guarantee the league will have the 28-year-old player back, and suggested he start on a new plan by considering liquidating one or both of his Virginia homes and three cars he had planned to keep.
