PERSONNEL BUZZ

*QB Brian Hoyer will serve as the No. 2 QB behind Charlie Batch

*Plaxico Burress will dress for Sunday’s game after a strong week of practice. The Steelers have packages in place for Burress to work as the No. 3 receiver behind Mike Wallace and Emmanuel Sanders.

*All three top running backs Rashard Mendenhall, Jonathan Dwyer and Isaac Redman will be dressing for Sunday’s game. The belief is that the initial plan is for Jonathan Dwyer and Rashard Mendenhall to get the bulk of carries early on.
