Ward, Davenport questionable for Sunday

Tuesday, November 21, 2006

The Steelers staged a stirring fourth-quarter rally to beat the Cleveland Browns, 24-20, last Sunday.

If the Steelers play like they did in the first three quarters of that game this Sunday, they won't get a chance to mount a comeback.

Coach Bill Cowher said the Ravens (8-2) don't have a weakness, and if that isn't daunting enough for the Steelers (4-6) they haven't won in Baltimore since 2002.

"We're going to have to play our best game to even have a chance to compete with this team," Cowher said. "They're playing that good."

The status of one of the Steelers' best players is in question for the 1 p.m. game. Hines Ward hyperextended his knee near the end of the Browns game and is questionable for Sunday. Reserve running back Najeh Davenport (groin) is also questionable for the game.

Wide receiver Willie Reid (foot) is doubtful for the game and center Jeff Hartings (knee), cornerback Deshea Townsend (ankle) and outside linebackers Clark Haggans (quad) and James Harrison (ankle) are probable.

Prior to that, I saw this:

Hines Ward: Should Play in Week 12 - 11/20/2006 3:19:33 PM

Update:

Ward said that he doesn't expected to miss any time with a hyper-extended knee, KDKA-TV reports.

Recommendation:

Ward injured his knee during a fourth-quarter drive in Sunday's comeback win against the Browns. "It kind of got hyper-extended but I took an MRI today (Monday) and everything came back pretty positive," said Ward. "It'll be sore for a couple days but I'll be fine." The Steelers travel to Baltimore in Week 12 to take on the AFC North Division-leading Ravens.

Jeez I am really late with my Bill Cowher's news conf. report but TeddyKGB's post sums it up pretty well: Reid doubtful, Ward & Davenport questionable. FWIW Cowher didn't seem all that concern about Ward or Davenport.

One amusing thing: Cowher said that he is not going to wear a suit on the sideline. Then Cowher added: "I don't even wear a suit to church".
