Teammate expects Hines Ward to play in Tampa
January 20
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Hines Ward attended team meetings at the Steelers practice facility today and at least one teammate predicted he will play in Super Bowl XLIII.
"I don't think there's any question that 86 will be on the field," tight end Heath Miller said. "I don't even know the extent of his injury, but I saw him walking today so I'm pretty sure that two weeks from now he'll be playing."
Ward has a slight MCL sprain in his right knee, injured in the first quarter of the Steelers' 23-14 victory over Baltimore for the AFC championship. He returned to catch one pass early in the second quarter, then left the game for good. He caught three passes for 55 yards.
The Steelers provided noyesterday on the injury. Ward had been scheduled for a MRI in the morning.
Halfback Mewelde Moore, who left the game with an ankle injury, also attended yesterday's meetings and walked around without any kind of support or protective boot.
And free safety Ryan Clark, whose hit late in the game sent Ravens running back Willis McGahee to the hospital with a concussion, had no apparent injury."
