Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, safety Troy Polamalu and center Maurkice Pouncey were all full particpants in Friday's practice and are expected to start Sunday in Cleveland.

The three Pro Bowl players were all listed as probable on the team's official injury report. Roethlisberger and Pouncey have both been hobbled by left high ankle sprains sustained during a Dec. 8 game against Cleveland. Neither played in last week's win over St. Louis, though Polamalu (knee) did.

Wide receivers Mike Wallace (ankle) and Emmanuel Sanders (foot) were also full particpants and are listed as probable, as is linebacker James Harrison (neck).

Linebacker LaMarr Woodley (hamstring) did not practice and is listed as doubtful. Guard Doug Legursky (shoulder) and running back Mewelde Moore (knee) are both out.

Linebacker Chris Carter (hamstring) is questionable.
