WR returning to lineup following deactivation PITTSBURGH The Pittsburgh Steelers won't further pun ish wide receiver Santonio Holmes for being charged last week with a mari juana-related offense and plan to start him Monday night in Washington.

He was allowed to return to the team after speaking to his team mates and issuing a public apology on Monday.

Holmes, a third-year player out of Ohio State, was charged with a misde meanor count of possession of a small amount of marijuana following a police stop Thursday. Holmes has a preliminary hearing before a Pittsburgh district judge on Nov. 24. Tomlin doesn’t care if the NFL play ers’ union is unhappy the Steelers chose to effectively suspend Holmes for an issue that is covered by the NFEs substance abuse policy. The Steelers never said before the Giants’ game that Holmes was sus pended, instead handling the matter by deactivating him. Rays stay in Delaware following cancellations WILMINGTON, Del.

After they got up a few, we just kind of folded the tent.” Lupul made it 1-0 with an unassisted goal 1:20 into the game. His second goal, and fifth this season, put Philadelphia up 5-0 just 37 seconds after Knuble’s third-period goal. Kari Lehtonen’s only bright moment in the Atlanta net came with 7:47 remaining when he stopped Richards’ penalty shot.
