One key to a successful training camp, which ends at Saint Vincent College for the Steelers this morning, is a shortage of injuries.

Cornerback Deshea Townsend has a broken right thumb and will miss Friday's game.

Super Bowl MVP Hines Ward will miss his third preseason game tomorrow in Philadelphia, due to an injured han\mstring.

It was not all bad, though, because Cowher and others issued optimistic opinions that neither injury should keep either player out long. And as injuries go, the Steelers will escape training camp with every other starter intact and no major injuries to any of the players who have a chance at making their 53-man roster.
