The Steelers re-signed reserve linebacker Keyaron Fox on Monday, keeping a key member of their special teams unit.
Fox, who signed a two-year deal worth $1.8 million, saw action in 13 games with the Steelers last season.
A third-round draft pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2004, Fox joined the Steelers last year as a free agent.
The 6-3, 235-pound Fox finished with 21 tackles on special teams. Only cornerback Anthony Madison, with 25, had more.
He is the sixth free agent to re-sign with the Steelers this offseason, joining offensive linemen Chris Kemoeatu and Trai Essex, linebackers Arnold Harrison and Andre Frazier, and cornerback Fernando Bryant.
Fox has played in 53 regular-season NFL games, with 73 tackles (52 solo) and one quarterback sack.

Both games will be televised locally on KDKA-TV and FSN Pittsburgh.
