Steelers put Brett Keisel on IR

Pittsburgh, Pa. - Defensive end Brett Keisel has been put on the season-ending injured reserve list by the Pittsburgh Steelers Monday and will miss the remainder of the season.

Keisel left action Sunday with a torn tricep during the Steelers' 35-32 loss to the Saints.

He played all 12 games this season, his 13th year in the league, all with Pittsburgh. He signed with the team halfway through the preseason after waiting for an offer.

The 36-year-old recorded 17 tackles, a sack, and his 2nd-career interception this season with Pittsburgh (7-5).

The team signed defensive end Clifton Geathers, 26, to replace him. Geathers played this season for the Washington Redskins and for the Philadelphia Eagles last season. He has also seen the field with the Colts, Dolphins, and Cowboys.
