Steelers release KR Bryant

Pittsburgh has already cut ties with one of its rookie free-agents, releasing KR/WR Dorien Bryant (Purdue) after the diminutive return man failed his physical yesterday. Bryant is best-known for breaking the Big Ten season-record for kickoff return yards with 1,007, surpassing the old record of 994 yards (Earl Douthitt, Iowa, 1973) and the old Purdue mark of 735 yards (Rod Woodson, 1986).
