Menudo Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Steelers Notebook -- Ward, Polamalu, Holmes returning Wednesday, October 17, 2007 By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Peter Diana / Post-Gazette Hines Ward will return to the lineup Sunday against the Broncos. The Steelers will welcome at least three of their four injured starters back this week and may even make it four-for-four. Coach Mike Tomlin said wide receivers Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes and strong safety Troy Polamalu will return to the lineup for Sunday night's game in Denver. All three missed the last game with various injuries and Ward has missed the past two. The only one of the four starters whose status has not been determined is nose tackle Casey Hampton. He missed the last game with a hamstring injury that Tomlin said will limit him in practice today. The coach said his staff members will monitor Hampton as the week progresses and they are "hopeful" he will play. Also, backup tight end Jerame Tuman has had back spasms that might limit him in practice and No. 3 cornerback Bryant McFadden remains doubtful with a high ankle sprain. "Hines Ward is going to be fine," Tomlin said. "He's going to practice tomorrow. All tests to this point have been very positive. I know he's excited about being back in there, as are we to have him back in there." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiso Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Hmm, i just picked up Addai and Santonio for Roy Williams and Shaun Alexander. - Is Santonios production going to be very low because of Wards return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think a little, but I think Addai more than makes up the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I think the fact that the schedule gets tougher could do good things for the passing game as a whole. In 4 out of their 5 games, they were closing out big leads in the 2nd half, and therefore weren't turning to the passing game very often. The schedule gets tougher, and there should be more opportunities for all members of the passing game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
