The news the Steelers had agreed to bring back running back Stevan Ridley broke Tuesday night. What wasn't known at that time was that receiver Justin Hunter had agreed to return to the team, as well.

Both veteran reserve players signed one-year deals with the Steelers Thursday, bolstering the team's depth at two key offensive positions.

Hunter, a former second-round draft pick of the Titans, joined the Steelers last year and appeared in seven games, one of which was a start. He finished the season with four catches for 23 yards.

Ridley, a former 1,200-yard rusher for New England, joined the Steelers in December of last year when James Conner was placed on injured reserve. He appeared in two games, gaining 115 yards on 29 carries.

Veteran safety Nat Berhe, who played for the Giants the past four seasons, also announce late Wednesday night he had agreed to terms with the team on a deal. Berhe posted video Thursday of him signing his contract.
