Steelers place Mike Morgan on IR

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 6 (UPI) -- Pittsburgh Steelers safety Mike Logan, who had a pivotal interception in a come-from-behind playoff win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, will miss the rest of the postseason with a right knee injury.

The Steelers on Monday placed Logan on injured reserve and signed rookie safety Erik Totten from the practice squad.

The Browns were leading 24-7 in the third quarter when Logan intercepted a pass by Kelly Holcomb and returned it 14 yards to the Pittsburgh 39. Tommy Maddox then directed a 10-play, 71-yard touchdown drive and the Steelers went on to rally for a 36-33 victory.

Logan is the top backup at the safety position and is often used in nickel and dime packages.

Pittsburgh is in the divisional playoff round for the seventh time in 11 years under coach Bill Cowher and will visit the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
