Plaxico Burress Placed on IR, WR Tyler Shaw Signed

The Steelers have officially placed Plaxico Burress on Injured Reserve today. Burress, who turned 36 yesterday, underwent surgery on his right shoulder to repair a torn rotator cuff.

The team has signed WR Tyler Shaw to add depth and fill the opening on the roster. Shaw went undrafted out of Northwest Missouri State this spring. He’s 6’0, 182 lbs and clocked a 40 low time of 4.37. He spent this summer with the Cardinals before being cut last week. Aside from impressing with his speed on the football field in college, he was also an accomplished hurdler on the track team.
