There’s more bad injury news in Pittsburgh, as Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward is expected to miss Thursday’s game against the Cleveland Browns.
Scott Brown of the Tribune-Review reports that Ward appears to be a long shot to play after suffering a hamstring injury late in the Steelers’ 27-24 loss to the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
“Not favorable for him,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said of Ward’s prognosis.
Without Ward, Mike Wallace would start at wide receiver and Limas Sweed would see additional playing time.
Tomlin added that Steelers safety Troy Polamalu is also not expected to play.
