Mike Tomlin: Steelers need O-line helpAssociated Press
PITTSBURGH -- Marcus Gilbert and Doug Legursky's left shoulders appear to be OK. Maybe. Jonathan Scott's left ankle remains tender but not terrible. Probably.
Still, if you're an out-of-work offensive lineman, there could be a call from the Pittsburgh Steelers in your near future.

Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday the Steelers are "open to looking to maybe bring someone in" this week to provide the team with some much-needed depth after three starters had to be helped off the field during Sunday night's 23-20 victory over Indianapolis.
Tomlin stressed the team is looking for depth, not someone to show up on Wednesday and be ready to play in Sunday's game at Houston.
"It would just be for practice purposes only," Tomlin said.
At least, as of now. Given the perpetual state of flux the line has been for the last two seasons, Tomlin knows it's too early to rule anything out.

It doesn't look like Flozell's in the works.
I guess it's more of a cap space thing than anything else with him, but damn we need him. Never should have let him AND Starks go.
