Move could be temporary depending on Donovan Woods' condition

The Steelers released running back Gary Russell today in order to sign rookie linebacker Patrick Bailey from their practice squad.
Bailey likely is needed on special teams because fellow rookie linebacker Donovan Woods is injured. Woods played well on special teams through two games.
It's possible that Russell would be re-signed next week and Bailey put back on the practice squad if Woods is healthy.
