    ESPN reports that free agent Plaxico Burress is expected to go to Pittsburgh to meet with and take a physical for the Steelers this week.

    Burress has been unable to catch on with another team after spending last season with the New York Jets. A first-round draft pick of the Steelers in 2000, Burress spent nearly two years in prison on a gun charge before his release in June 2011.

    The Steelers could use another body at wide receiver. Antonio Brown missed Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens with an ankle injury, while Jerricho Cotchery was banged up on a hard hit from Bernard Pollard late in the fourth quarter on Sunday.

    just keep him away from the "shotgun" and he'd be fine.
