The Steelers reached agreements Sunday with veteran free-agent running back Mewelde Moore and unrestricted free-agent cornerback William Gay.

Moore spent the past three years with the Steelers, predominantly as a third-down back. He had 33 carries for 99 yards a season ago and 26 catches for 205 yards.

The Steelers were in need of a third-down back. The role was filled during yesterday's first day of full-padded practice by rookie Baron Batch.

Gay was the Steelers' fifth-round pick in 2007 out of Louisville.

The Steelers have retained their top three cornerbacks back from last year's Super Bowl team. Gay will likely assume the nickle back position in the Steelers' defense.
