Steelers' Pouncey won't play Sunday
Share with others:
Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey, who aggravated his injured left ankle against the Cleveland Browns and again in practice on Wednesday, will not play in Sunday's wild-card playoff game in Denver, the Post-Gazette has been told.
It is the second postseason game in a row Pouncey will miss because of an injury to the same ankle. He did not play in Super Bowl XLV because of a high-ankle sprain.
Pouncey did not not practice today and has been listed as questionable on the team's official injury report. The only players listed as out are RB Mewelde Moore and CB Cortez Allen.
However, guard Doug Legursky, who is returning after missing the previous game with a left shoulder separation, will start at center. Former starter Chris Kemoeatu will replace Legursky at left guard.
