Dan Kreider Out for Season, Steelers Career Over?

Dan Kreider has been a fan favorite since his arrival in Pittsburgh; but by all accounts his position on the team was tenuous in the extreme as final cut downs were being considered this past summer. Now comes word from WTAE that, as the result of a knee injury sustained on an unplayable field, Mr. Kreider has been placed on injured reserve, thus ending his season.

If this is the end we wish one of the toughest, most effective, fullbacks in the National Football League great success once he is signed by Arizona.

To fill the now open spot on the roster Bill Cowher favorite Jon Dekker has been signed.

Additionally, Jeremy Parquet -- an offensive lineman -- who has been in the league for two years (most recently with the St. Louis Rams, after having been drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs) was signed to the Steelers' practice squad.
