So far it sounds like Hines will play......but even he says he won't be 100%....is this smoke? Is this a GTD that will come up negative? Post any updates throughout the week here.
"I don't have a brace on, I'm walking around fine," Ward said Monday, not long after arriving with his teammates. "I'm not going to be 100 percent, I'm not going to trick anybody. But I think I'm going to be able to go out there and perform like I'm used to." Ward said he will likely wear a knee brace in the game. "I think I have to play with it," said Ward, who sprained his MCL in the AFC Championship Game. "In case you fall down on it, you don't want to re-injure falling down. The thing is, you want to play with a brace and make sure it doesn't affect your route-running ability. Time will tell." Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was startled anyone doubted that one of the NFL's toughest and most physical offensive players -- and the Super Bowl MVP three years ago -- would play. "People ask me that question and I want to smack them," Roethlisberger said. "It's Hines Ward, he's going to be out here. It's the Super Bowl."
