DeShon Elliott Getting Close to Return From Injured Reserve

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy announced that safety DeShon Elliott is getting close to returning from injured reserve after a positive workout last Wednesday. Eligible to return after being placed on IR on roster cutdown day due to a knee issue, Elliott provides much-needed stability to a secondary missing Joey Porter Jr. and dealing with benched veterans like Rayshawn Jenkins. McCarthy did not specify an exact return timeline for Week 5.
