Pittsburgh Steelers claim QB Zach Mettenberger

Quarterback Zach Mettenberger was claimed by the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday, one day removed from being waived by the San Diego Chargers.

Mettenberger figures to be the team's No. 3 quarterback behind Ben Roethlisberger and Landry Jones. He fills the void created when quarterback Bruce Gradkowski was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury,

Mettenberger was the backup to Marcus Mariota with the Tennessee Titans last season, Mettenberger started four games in 2015 and lost all four. In fact, he is 0-10 in his 10 career NFL starts over two seasons.

Last season, Metternberger completed 60.8 percent of his passes with four touchdowns and seven interceptions.

Mettenberger, 25, was cut by the Titans in May after Tennessee signed Matt Cassel to back up Mariota.

The Chargers picked him up but he could not beat out undrafted rookie Mike Bercovici for the No. 3 quarterback spot.
