PITTSBURGH - Defensive lineman Chris Hoke re-signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday.

Hoke, a restricted free-agent, agreed to a two-year deal.

A three-year reserve tackle from Brigham Young, Hoke joined the team as a rookie free agent in 2001. He has not played a game with the Steelers, though he has spent time on the team's practice squad.

Hoke made the team's roster last year, but was inactive for all games.
