Hoyer waived; Victorian promoted

Steelers Depot is reporting that QB Brian Hoyer has been waived and recently re-signed CB Josh Victorian was promoted to the 53-man roster.

Hoyer became expendable with the return of Roethlisberger and improved play of Batch in the game in Baltimore. Leftwich is also on the mend and should be able to return by next week.

Victorian will add much needed depth at CB with Ike Taylor out for a few weeks.

I liked some of the things I saw from Victorian in preseason. Let's hope it translates to the regular season.

I still think we should have gave Hoyer a chance, in my opinion he is not a bad back up.

Maybe that's their plan next year. Right now he's not needed and wouldn't see the field. I don't know if he's practice squad eligible, but maybe we see him end up there if he clears waivers.
