Duce Staley - RB - Eagles

Duce Staley has officially retired, and will be celebrated by the Eagles at halftime of this week's Eagles-Giants game.

Staley got hurt in Week 8 of the 2004 season while starting for a juggernaut Steelers squad. No one could have guessed he'd only earn 38 more career carries after that year, as his health faltered and weight ballooned. Never a big touchdown scorer, his best season came in 2002 while leading Philly's three-headed running back monster with 1,570 total yards and eight touchdowns.

Duce Staley - RB - Eagles

Steelers released RB Duce Staley.

Staley signed in 2004 and looked like an ideal fit for Pittsburgh's system. He was for half a season, averaging over 100 rushing yards a game, while letting Jerome Bettis vulture his touchdowns. But Staley literally got fat and happy the last two years and the organization grew tired of his effort and injuries. The Eagles could look into signing him, but we doubt he'll ever have a major role in the NFL again.

Duce Staley - RB - Eagles

After averaging a miserable 2.2 yards-per-carry in the preseason, Duce Staley has reportedly been impressive in recent Steelers practices.

Staley hasn't received a regular season carry and isn't worth owning in fantasy leagues. Verron Haynes and Najeh Davenport both appear to be ahead of him on Pittsburgh's depth chart.

Duce Staley - RB - Eagles

Steelers declared RB Duce Staley, QB Brian St. Pierre, KR Willie Reid, LB Rian Wallace, C Marvin Phillip, OL Chris Kemoeatu, OL Willie Colon, and TE Tim Euhus inactive for Monday night.

No Hines Ward, no Big Ben. The Steelers are playing with a full deck in Week 2. Najeh Davenport got the nod over Staley, who's days in Pittsburgh may be numbered. St. Pierre is the third quarterback.

Duce Staley is expected to be a healthy scratch for Monday's game.

Najeh Davenport might get a chance in goal-line situations against the Jaguars. Staley is no longer worth owning in fantasy leagues.

Duce Staley - RB - Eagles

Steelers coach Bill Cowher confirmed Saturday that he'll carry four tailbacks heading to the season opener.

Despite many reports, Duce Staley's roster spot is safe. Willie Parker and Verron Haynes are the top two backs on the depth chart. The AP speculates Staley might not dress for games early in the season.

Duce Staley - RB - Eagles

Duce Staley is reportedly not in danger of being cut Friday.

No one else on the roster has stepped up. Don't be surprised, however, if Pittsburgh looks at running backs on the waiver wire, meaning Staley could still be at risk of being cut next week.

Duce Staley - RB - Eagles

Duce Staley rushed for 46 yards on 19 carries Thursday night.

Staley should make the team, if only because the Steelers have no one to replace him. He's averaging less than three yards-per-carry in the preseason, but Pittsburgh is hopeful he'll play his way into shape.

Duce Staley - RB - Eagles

Duce Staley rushed for 21 yards on 11 carries Friday night.

Staley is slow and cannot break tackles. Former undrafted free agent John Kuhn, a Shippensburg alum, appears a better short-yardage back.
