Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is walking around in a walking boot, but he's still expected to face the Ravens on Sunday night. Roethlisberger sprained his right foot in Pittsburgh's overtime win over Buffalo on Sunday. Baltimore and Pittsburgh both have 8-3 records, and the winner will own the division lead with four games remaining.

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger sprained his right foot in the team's overtime win over the Bills on Sunday afternoon. "My foot was in the ground and someone was driving me backwards, and my foot couldn't get out of the ground, so my knee just got bent sideways," Roethlisberger said. The Steelers (8-3) face the Ravens (8-3) in Baltimore next Sunday night with first place in the AFC North on the line.

Steelers linebacker James Harrison incurred a costly roughing-the-passer penalty against Buffalo's Ryan Fitzpatrick on Sunday. The linebacker drove Fitzpatrick into the ground in the third quarter on a blitz and was flagged for leading with his helmet. Harrison has been docked $80,000 for hits this season, and was called to the NFL office in New York recently regarding how rules designed to protect players from injury are being enforced.

Raiders defensive tackle Richard Seymour has been fined $25,000 for punching Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on Sunday. Seymour was ejected in the second quarter after the offense.

Steelers linebacker James Harrison is calling for Raiders defensive lineman Richard Seymour to be suspended. Seymour punched Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger after a Pittsburgh touchdown on Sunday. Harrison has been criticized for his physical play as the NFL's tries to protect its players. "I don't see why not," Harrison said. "They're trying to suspend guys for hits when that's within the whistles, some hits that guys can't even stop from doing. It's an adjustment that a receiver makes to what you are about to do to him, and you end up hitting helmet to helmet. You're talking about suspending a guy for that? You tell me what the next step is for a guy who blatantly, outside the play, it's already thrown, and a guy is going to celebrate with his teammates and you punch him in the face."

Jeff Reed was offered a deal by the Bengals following his surprising release by the Steelers this week, but the kicker turned down the bid. "We had three calls and two offers," agent Don Henderson said. "But we're not going to kick this weekend." "I hate to see Jeff Reed leave under the circumstances in the middle of the season," said wide receiver Antwaan Randle El. "I'm sure something other than just kicking had to be involved in that deal."

The Steelers have signed journeyman Shaun Suisham to replace released kicker Jeff Reed. Reed fell out of favor after missing seven field goals through nine games this season. Suisham worked out for the team yesterday morning in Heinz Field.

The Steelers have cut kicker Jeff Reed. Reed began the season as one of the 10 most accurate kickers in NFL history but has been erratic all season. He spent eight seasons with Pittsburgh.

The Steelers are contemplating cutting kicker Jeff Reed, who missed his seventh field goal of the season in Pittsburgh's 39-26 loss to New England on Sunday night. ESPN Insider Adam Schefter reports that Pittsburgh will bring in kickers for workouts on Tuesday. After the loss, Reed called into question the quality of the turf at Heinz Field. "I'm not one to make excuses," Reed told The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "I'll take the credit for the miss. It was a great snap, a great hold, great protection. It's kind of hard when you plant your foot and the hole -- a piece of ground moves where the ball's under the holder. I almost missed the ball completely. "I'm not going to make excuses. If you've played any kind of sports in your life, you realize that what we play on is not very good turf. It happens."

Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward suffered a concussion in Sunday night's loss to the Patriots. Ward "will go through his normal battery of tests after sustaining a concussion," coach Mike Tomlin said. "We'll see where we are in terms of next week." He did not catch a pass in the game, ending his Steelers-record streak of making at least one reception in 186 consecutive games.
