Ward, Polamalu and Holmes returning vs. Broncos

PITTSBURGH -- The Steelers' off week allowed three of the four injured starters who sat out their 21-0 victory over Seattle on Oct. 7 to heal.
Wide receivers Hines Ward (sprained knee) and Santonio Holmes (hamstring) and safety Troy Polamalu (rib cartilage) not only are expected to play against Denver on Sunday night, but likely will practice all week. Ward would return after missing two games.
Nose tackle Casey Hampton (hamstring) will take it easy in practice Wednesday, but Tomlin is hopeful he will play. Backup cornerback Bryant McFadden (sprained ankle) probably won't go.

Steelers weighing field options following a Monday night mess

By ALAN ROBINSON, AP Sports Writer

November 27, 2007

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- The Dolphins and Steelers rolled around in the muck and mire for more than 59 minutes without scoring, resembling a bunch of school kids playing a pickup game in a muddy backyard. Running and passing plays appeared to be going in slow motion. Punting was difficult, kicking was nearly impossible. Players sunk ankle deep at times into the swamp-like field, and one punt nearly disappeared as it struck nose-first into the brand new turf, burrowing itself like a golf ball.

Steelers fan gets last rite of passage in Heinz Field

Wednesday, December 19, 2007 3:06 AM




PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Richard Desrosiers never made it to Heinz Field to watch his beloved Steelers play football, but his widow helped him fulfill his dream in death.

With the help of sympathetic donors, Kathleen Desrosiers attended Sunday's game, bringing an urn with some of her late husband's ashes, as well as his ring and two pictures of him. He died in March of a brain tumor.
"I couldn't take the tumor away. I couldn't take the pain away. I couldn't make him better. But I can do this," Kathleen Desrosiers, 60, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Cleveland police charge Davenport

And it has nothing to do with him dropping a deuce in anyone's closet..

Please refrain from calling him "Najeh" or "Davenport." It is widely known that ND (no relation to Ntre Ame) is affectionately referred to as "Dookie."

SI.com - NFL - Steelers place Parker on IR with broken leg - Monday December 24, 2007 3:46PM

Parker done for the season

Steelers put NFL's leading rusher on IR with leg break

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Willie Parker, the NFL's leading rusher when he broke his right leg Thursday night in St. Louis, was officially lost for the season when the Pittsburgh Steelers placed him on the injured reserve list Monday.
Parker underwent surgery on his broken fibula, but is expected to return next season, coach Mike Tomlin said.
To replace Parker on their roster, the Steelers re-signed Verron Haynes, primarily a third down back for them from 2002-06. He missed the second half of the 2006 season with a knee injury and was cut by Pittsburgh before the season began.
Parker's injury likely cost him a chance to be the Steelers' first NFL rushing champion in 61 years, or since Bill Dudley in 1946. Parker was hurt making on a cut on his first and only carry during Pittsburgh's 41-24 victory in St. Louis.
Parker led San Diego's LaDainian Tomlinson 1,316 yards to 1,311 yards, but Tomlinson had games remaining Monday night against Denver and Sunday against Oakland.
Four other running backs were within 114 yards of Parker's lead.

NFL ROUNDUP: Steelers must deal with loss of Parker

NFL ROUNDUP
Steelers must deal with loss of Parker
December 22, 2007
FREE PRESS NEWS SERVICES

PITTSBURGH -- The Steelers had their worst victory of the season on Thursday -- they beat the St. Louis Rams, 41-24, but lost franchise running back Willie Parker for the season.
The Steelers (10-5) were desperate to win after dropping two in a row, and they did -- but at a potentially terrible cost. The NFL's leading rusher with 1,316 yards, Parker broke his right fibula on his first carry and won't carry the ball again until off-season workouts begin.
By winning, the Steelers are all but certain of being in the postseason; a loss by either Tennessee or Cleveland the next two weekends would assure that, as would a Steelers victory in Baltimore on Dec. 30.
Parker's absence, however, may force the Steelers to greatly alter their offensive approach during the playoffs, even though backup Najeh Davenport ran for 123 yards and scored two touchdowns against St. Louis.
Parker's injury also might quiet the talk that the Steelers will change the Heinz Field surface from grass to artificial turf next season.
Even before Parker was hurt while cutting on artificial turf in St. Louis, several players all but pleaded with ownership to keep the grass, bad as it is, because of the injury risk of playing on turf.
The one player who favored artificial turf? Willie Parker.
