Steelers signed TE Leonard Pope to a one-year contract.
Wherever Todd Haley lands, Pope is sure to follow. The two have been together in Arizona, Kansas City, and now Pittsburgh. Pope will add veteran depth behind Heath Miller with Weslye Saunders suspended four games. Despite impressive measurables, Pope has never cleared 250 yards in six NFL seasons.
Apr 10 - 4:03 PM
Free agent TE Leonard Pope will visit the Steelers Tuesday.
One of the more experienced players remaining in a barren tight end market, Pope caught a career high 24 passes for 247 yards in Kansas City last season. A poor blocker, he'd provide pass-catching depth behind Heath Miller in Pittsburgh.
Apr 10 - 11:06 AM

Ed Bouchette on Twitter
Leonard Pope had three receptions for 26 yards against the Patriots in Week 11.
Sometimes a new rookie quarterback can cause a tight end to get more looks, and together Pope and Jake O'Connell (three catches, 22 yards) were targeted 10 times. We'll let you know if one of the mediocre duo emerges, but we won't be holding our breath.
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 12:04:00 AM
Leonard Pope caught three passes for 32 yards with a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Chargers.
Pope was playing with Tony Moeaki (knee) out for the year and Anthony Becht leaving early today. He surely infuriated coach Todd Haley by taking his helmet off after the touchdown, earning a 15-yard penalty. Pope is a backup-caliber talent at best and not on the fantasy radar.

Rashard Mendenhall
Sidelined
Rashard Mendenhall (torn ACL) isn't prepared to rule out a return for the Sept. 9 season opener.
Mendenhall is still experiencing soreness and swelling in the knee, but he did impress onlookers while running and cutting on the side during OTA practices. "I am not targeting anything," Mendenhall said. "I don't have a time frame. I just want to get back to 100 percent, and right now, I feel good about it. Everything is going well." In the final year of his rookie contract, Mendenhall won't push to return before he's ready.

Jonathan Dwyer
Sidelined
Steelers RB Jonathan Dwyer (broken foot) has begun running and cutting.
Dwyer expects to be on the field for OTAs, though his participation level remains up in the air. Dwyer does still have soreness in the foot, but he insists it's nothing serious. If Rashard Mendenhall (ACL surgery) isn't ready to start the season, Dwyer could emerge as Isaac Redman's top backup.

Baron Batch
Sidelined
Steelers RB Baron Batch (ACL surgery) will not practice with rookies and first-year players at minicamp on Friday.
Now nine months removed from surgery, Batch is eligible to practice but is apparently not ready to do so. It's possible the 2011 seventh-rounder suffered a recent setback, as he indicated in late March that he was cleared for all offseason workouts.

Weslye Saunders
Suspended
NFL suspended TE Weslye Saunders four games for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing substances.
Saunders' resume was a red flag-filled mess coming out of South Carolina last year, and was ultimately the reason he went undrafted. He's now in trouble again. An oft-used blocker after making the Steelers out of training camp, Saunders played about 15 snaps a game and held his own in pass protection. The 23-year-old only caught four passes for 29 yards and a touchdown.
