Defensive end Brett Keisel will miss Sunday's game in Miami with a hamstring injury, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said today.

Tomlin said either veteran Nick Eason or Ziggy Hood, the team's first-round draft pick in 2009, will start in Keisel's spot on the right side but he's not yet sure which. Both will play and the Steelers may have to add a defensive lineman to join the five healthy ones for Sunday's game. The Steelers normally dress six defensive linemen for games.

The coach also revealed that starting right guard Doug Legursky has a sprained MCL in his left knee but that he expects him to play against the Dolphins.
