Player Notes

December 31, 2006
Santonio Holmes finished his rookie season on a positive note, catching four passes for 124 yards in the season finale. His 67-yard touchdown in overtime won the game for the Steelers. Holmes had 320 yards in the final four games of the season.

December 22, 2006
Santonio Holmes is in line to start Sunday against Baltimore, though Cedrick Wilson is also expected to play a lot, Bill Cowher told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. None of these guys look like ideal fantasy plays, as the Raven defense has been one of the hardest to throw on all year (in part because of the secondary, in part due to the pass rush).

December 12, 2006
If Hines Ward returns this weekend and Cedrick Wilson is still out, then Santonio Holmes will start at wide receiver, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The reasoning here is that Wilson is the split end, and Holmes is his backup. Meanwhile, Ward plays flanker, and Nate Washington is his backup in addition to his role as No. 3 receiver.

November 24, 2006
Santonio Holmes missed Thursday's practice due to a flu bug, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. This isn't expected to keep Holmes out of Sunday's game with Baltimore.

November 19, 2006
Santonio Holmes had the first TD catch of his career Sunday. The rookie caught five balls for 75 yards on the day. Holmes has been a solid contributer over the last six weeks.

November 10, 2006
Despite two more fumbles on special teams last week, rookie wide receiver Santonio Holmes might be back as a punt returner against the Saints, Bill Cowher told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Thursday. At this point Cowher is probably going to use Holmes on just punts, handing the kickoff-return chores to someone else.

October 22, 2006
Santonio Holmes had the best game of his young career Sunday, catching five passes for 91 yards. Holmes did lose a fumble on the day.

October 11, 2006
Santonio Holmes began alternating every two series with Cedrick Wilson last Sunday in San Diego, and coach Bill Cowher said Tuesday that the two receivers would continue to share playing time in the future, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "What he's done has merited that approach," Cowher said of Holmes.

September 22, 2006
Santonio Holmes was able to practice Friday but remains questionable for Pittsburgh's home game with Cincinnati Sunday. Holmes is battling a foot injury.

August 25, 2006
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Santonio Holmes won't start this year unless some injuries occur to the Steelers' other wide receivers. Holmes, who has had a pretty disappointing camp thus far, is No. 4 or 5 on the depth chart. "It was very tough mentally," Holmes said of his first pro camp. "My body took a beating at the start, but toward the end, I started to work a little harder, started to relax a lot more because I learned the system more."

August 13, 2006
Santonio Holmes caught four passes for 32 yards in the preseason opener for the Steelers. Head coach Bill Cowher told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he was happy with the play of both Holmes and fellow rookie Willie Reid. "I thought they did some good things. I think both those kids will get better and better. I was pleased from the sideline watching it. I think Santonio made some nice catches in the first half. I'm very pleased with it."

July 28, 2006
The Steelers signed first-round pick Santonio Holmes to a five-year contract Friday, according to the AP. Holmes is expected to compete with Willie Reid and Cedrick Wilson for a starting job alongside Hines Ward.

June 19, 2006
Steelers first-round draft pick Santonio Holmes was arrested early Monday and charged with domestic violence, according to the AP. It's the second time the former Ohio State receiver has been arrested in the past month. The first arrest was for disorderly conduct following a confrontation with police.

May 28, 2006
Steelers first-round draft choice Santonio Holmes was arrested early Saturday morning on a charge of disorderly conduct and was taken to jail after a confrontation with police in Miami Beach, Fla, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The former Ohio State Buckeye was the 25th pick in this year's draft.
