NFL: Steelers' Ward doubtful for Arizona game
Associated Press
PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward has a sprained knee and is doubtful for Sunday's game at Arizona.
Ward has missed only three games due to injury in 10 NFL seasons, and Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said today he hasn't ruled Ward out of the game.
Ward, injured during a 37-16 victory over San Francisco on Sunday, walked without a limp while reporting to a team meeting yesterday, but was on crutches later in the day.
Ward was injured while he was the intended receiver on consecutive plays during a Steelers drive early in the third quarter. He had one reception before getting hurt, extending the four-time Pro Bowl receiver's streak to 136 consecutive games with at least one catch.
