Steelers Parker, Roethlisberger banged up but will play
Tuesday, November 13, 2007

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and halfback Willie Parker, among the NFL leaders in passing and rushing, respectively, are likely to miss practice tomorrow because of injuries.

However, coach Mike Tomlin said both will play against the New York Jets Sunday at the Meadowlands, and that his team, for the most part, is healthy.

Roethlisberger has a hip and shoulder injury and Parker a slight knee injury. Also, cornerback Deshea Townsend is unlikely to practice tomorrow because of an ankle injury but Tomlin also expects him to play.

Two players who won't play are tight end Jerame Tuman (back) and safety Ryan Clark (spleen). Tomlin said neither is showing much progress.

Backup linebackers Andre Frazier (groin) and LaMarr Woodley (hamstring) are questionable at the moment, Tomlin said.




More details in tomorrow's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
