As expected, the Steelers have placed veteran receiver Plaxico Burress on injured reserve, a day after he underwent surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff.
They replaced Burress on the roster with Tyler Shaw, an undrafted rookie from Northwest Missouri State who was cut by the Cardinals on August 6.
The next question is whether Burress, who turned 36 on Monday, will be back in 2014. At this point, it seems unlikely.
