Bouchette believes Roethlisberger is "fine" despite being knocked out of the team's Week 17 game. Leftwich gives the Steelers one of the better fallback options in the league, but it appears they're not putting Ben on a short leash.

McFadden was arguably Pittsburgh's top corner early in the season before breaking his arm. He will likely line up mostly across from Chris Chambers with Taylor on Vincent Jackson. Taylor held V-Jax to 25 yards on two grabs in Week 11. Deshea Townsend will likely be the Steelers' nickel back Sunday.

The injury was discovered during Edwards' exit physical and is to his right (throwing) shoulder. Initial reports indicate that the injury is not serious, but if he does need an operation Edwards' future outlook could change.

Haralson responded with 4.5 sacks in the last seven games. The club is too needy elsewhere to worry about bringing in competition for Haralson in 2009, so he'll be a sleeper to post double-digit sacks in his contract year.

Tomlin says Ben Roethlisberger (concussion) will be under "close scrutiny" against San Diego, but as long as Big Ben plays well he'll be left in the game. The Steelers practiced Monday and will return to the field Wednesday.

A two-year starter for the Tigers, Powers (5'10/192) contributed 47 tackles, two picks, and seven pass breakups as a junior. He is not regarded highly at this time, but Pro Day and Combine testing could help him get drafted.

The nation's most multi-talented player in 2008, Casey scored 19 all-purpose touchdowns as basically an H-back/slot receiver. He's older than the average rookie after spending four years contemplating major league baseball. Casey doesn't block much and won't appeal to everyone, but could fit in on a team that values position versatility like the Patriots, Colts, Chargers, or Saints.
