The Steelers today signed veteran cornerback Justin King to their 53-man roster to shore up a position hard hit by injuries.

King, 25, played at Gateway High School in Monroeville and Penn State. He worked out for the Steelers several weeks ago.

The St. Louis Rams drafted him in the fourth round in 2008. He played for the Indianapolis Colts this season before they released him after the fifth week.

The Steelers played without two of their top three cornerbacks in Dallas. Ike Taylor has a hairline fracture of his ankle and No. 3 Cortez Allen missed the game with a groin injury. Starter Keenan Lewis left the game in the fourth quarter with a hip injury and backup DeMarcus Van Dyke left earlier with a separated shoulder.
