Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes will not be charged in connection with a March 7 altercation that left a woman with a cut above her right eye. Orlando police Sgt. Barbara Jones said Tuesday that the case has been closed since Anshonae Mills declined to press charges. Mills claims that Holmes threw a glass of liquor at her after the two argued over a seat in a VIP room. According to the report, investigating officer Damon Barnes witnessed Mills "smiling" and "rubbing Holmes' face" after the two talked outside Rain nightclub.

Steelers defensive end Aaron Smith says that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's recent off-field issues won't be an issue for the team. Roethlisberger is under investigation for sexual assault in Milledgeville, Ga. "Honestly, it doesn't really matter to me," said Smith, who added that he "enjoys Ben" and has always gotten along with Roethlisberger. "That's his business, and my business is playing football, so when we come here we focus on games and that's all we're here for."

Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes says that he didn't throw a drink at a nightclub, contrary to allegations. A Florida woman is suing Holmes, saying he hit her in the face with a glass at an Orlando nightclub and then offered to pay her so she wouldn't press charges. Holmes, who has not been charged in connection with the alleged incident, says he "didn't do anything" and expects the matter to be dealt with quickly.

Ben Roethlisberger will not report to the Steelers on Monday when the team's offseason conditioning program begins. Pittsburgh spokesman Dave Lockett says that the quarterback isn't expected to join the team this week. Roethlisberger is accused of assaulting a college student in a Georgia nightclub on March 5, but charges have not been filed.

The Steelers have signed backup quarterback Charlie Batch to a two-year contract. Batch, 35, has been under contract with Pittsburgh for the last eight years.

The manager of the club where Ben Roethlisberger is accused of having sexually assaulted a 20-year-old Georgia woman says that one of the woman's friends told him a bodyguard of denied her entrance to the area where she believed the accuser and Roethlisberger were that night. Rocky Duncan, the manager, said he escorted Roethlisberger and his group to the back room, sealed off by a curtain, that serves as the VIP area. Duncan said the bouncer, stationed outside the curtain, allowed women into the VIP area throughout the night.

Georgia investigators have withdrawn their request for a DNA sample from Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger who is accused of sexually assaulting a 20-year-old college student at a nightclub, an attorney for the player said Tuesday. Ed Garland told The Associated Press that officials withdrew the request a week ago, but declined comment on why.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin says that he keeps in contact with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger daily. Roethlisberger is being accused of assaulting a 20-year-old college student in a Georgia nightclub on March 5. Tomlin said he talks to Roethlisberger daily "about football, about personal life; that's the nature of our relationship." "We've been pretty clear from [Steelers president] Art Rooney on down how we are approaching this," Tomlin added. "At this point, as the investigation runs its course, we'll have comments at the appropriate time."

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says he plans to meet with Ben Roethlisberger about the Steelers QB's off-field problems. Goodell already has spoken with team owners about Roethlisberger, who is being investigated on allegations he assaulted a 20-year-old college student in a Georgia nightclub on March 5. Roethlisberger's attorney says the quarterback committed no crime. Roethlisberger has yet to be interviewed by police and charges have not been filed. "We take this issue very seriously," Goodell said Monday at the NFL meetings. "I am concerned that Ben continues to put himself in this position.

The Steelers don't plan on drafting an elite-level quarterback next month simply because of Ben Roethlisberger's latest legal woes. "That position appears to be set," director of football operations Kevin Colbert said at the NFL owners meeting. They hope to re-sign Charlie Batch to provide depth behind Roethlisberger and promising third-year man Dennis Dixon.
