The San Francisco 49ers auditioned Billy Cundiff and Nate Kaeding on Tuesday.

David Akers has struggled with his consistency this season.

Kaeding is the most-accurate kicker in NFL history.

The Denver Broncos have signed Jacob Hester.

Willis McGahee's injury has created a void at running back.

Hester spent his first four seasons with the Chargers.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed quarterback Brian Hoyer.

The Steelers will start third-stringer Charlie Batch in Week 12 due to injuries to Ben Roethlisberger and Byron Leftwich.

Plaxico Burress will meet with the Pittsburgh Steelers and take a physical.

The Steelers need help at wide receiver and Burress played with the franchise from 2000 until 2004.

Burress played last season with the Jets.

The Detroit Lions, Miami Dolphins and Arizona Cardinals are interested in signing Stanford Routt.

Routt was released by the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday and cleared waivers on Tuesday.
