The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed free-agent quarterback Michael Vick to a one-year deal, the team announced Tuesday.
Vick met with the Steelers in Pittsburgh earlier in the day, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Josina Anderson, as the team was in the market for a backup to Ben Roethlisberger after Bruce Gradkowski dislocated a finger in his left hand during last week's preseason game against the Green Bay Packers.
In a corresponding move, the Steelers placed Gradkowski on the reserve/injured list. He is having surgery Tuesday, a source told Schefter, and is expected to miss three to four weeks, leaving Landry Jones as the only other full-time quarterback on the Steelers' roster prior to the Vick signing.
Cowboys' Scandrick Will Miss Season
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick will miss the entire 2015 season after tearing both the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his right knee, Scandrick told ESPN via text message Tuesday night.
He will undergo surgery after an MRI exam revealed Scandrick had torn the two ligaments in practice at training camp Tuesday, an injury that will leave the Cowboys with a gaping hole in their secondary.
