Muarkice Pouncey was “limited in practice” today and has reportedly lost 12 pounds due to the illness which took him from the Kansas City game.

Ben Roethlisberger began practice as normal, but did not finish, apparently aggravating his thumb injury.

Wide Receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Arnaz Battle also missed practice. Both of these facts should mean that Hines Ward suits up, although the special teams has sorely missed Battle’s absence.
