The Steelers have signed nine players to their offseason roster, including seven members of their 2009 practice squad and former defensive tackle Scott Paxson.

However, one of the players not signed is former Penn State and Moon High School center A.Q. Shipley, who was on the practice squad.

The practice-squad members signed to the offseason roster are RBs Justin Vincent and Isaac Redman, TE Eugene Bright, WR Jason Chery, S Tuff Harris, DT Steve McCLendon and CB Trae Williams.

Paxson, who spent time on the active roster and practice squad between 2006-2008, was signed along with K Piotr Czech, who was cut in training camp last summer.
