Former Steelers special teams captain Anthony Madison has re-signed with the team, one day after being cut by the Indianapolis Colts. The Steelers have struggled in kick coverage all season. They allowed a league-high four kickoff return touchdowns in five games before not permitting one during their 20-17 loss to Baltimore on Sunday. Madison played for Pittsburgh from 2006-08 before being cut during training camp. He played for the Browns and Colts earlier this season. The Steelers released former Ravens cornerback Corey Ivy, who signed with them last week.
