Steelers | Polamalu could play in Week 12 Wed Nov 18, 10:24 AM
Scott Brown, of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, reports the Pittsburgh Steelers are likely targeting the team's Week 12 game versus the Baltimore Ravens as a return date for SS Troy Polamalu (knee).
| Our view: The Steelers have two matchups remaining against the Ravens, and have Polamalu available to play would greatly help their chances to win. Pittsburgh is looking to make another playoff run, and will be very cautious when bringing their All-Pro safety back from this latest injury. |

Steelers | Polamalu questionable for Week 11 Tue Nov 17, 01:10 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers SS Troy Polamalu (knee) is questionable at best to play in Week 11. However, head coach Mike Tomlin has not yet ruled Polamalu out for the game. Polamalu strained the posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in Week 10, the same knee in which he injured the medial collateral ligament in Week 1 and ended up missing four games and parts of two others. Tomlin said the current injury is not as significant as the MCL. 'There was no setback to the MCL injury,' said Tomln, who emphasized that they are two separate injuries.

The Associated Press reports Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger was 20-for-40 for 174 yards with an interception Week 10 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Steelers | Tomlin will not comment on L. Johnson Tue Nov 10, 04:15 PM
Chuck Finder, of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, reports Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin would not comment about the availability of free-agent RB Larry Johnson (Chiefs), who has previously stated he would like to play for the Steelers.
| Our view: There's no room for Larry Johnson right now on the Steelers roster. Rashard Mendenhall is their power back, Willie Parker a speed back, and Mewelde Moore is a versatile do-everything type of running back. Johnson's attitude may also become a distraction in the locker room, but if there's one team that could keep that from being a problem - it's the Pittsburgh Steelers. |

Steelers | Big Ben throws three TD passes Week 9 Tue Nov 10, 12:42 AM
The Associated Press reports Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger was 21-for-29 for 233 yards with three touchdown passes and an interception Week 9 against the Denver Broncos.
| Our view: Roethlisberger and the Steelers offense was completely held in check in the first half, but a little dose of the no huddle and better offensive line and running game play broke things open in the second half, and just about everything the Steelers did on offense worked. |
