The Steelers reinstated rookie defensive tackle Alameda Ta'amu from the reserve/suspended list today.

The team suspended him for the past two games after he was arrested on Oct. 14 and charged with 15 counts after a police chase on the South Side.

The team will have a roster exemption for Ta'amu until 4 p.m. Wednesday, when they will have to remove someone from their roster. Ta'amu was drafted on the fourth round by the Steelers but has not been active for a game.

Ta'amu is still subject to possible further punishment by the NFL.
