Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Hines Ward was upgraded Friday to probable for Sunday's AFC North game at Cincinnati after missing a game for the first time in his NFL career with a hamstring injury last weekend. Ward was listed as questionable when the practice week began, but took part in drills Thursday and Friday after missing practice last week. He sat out a 23-17 overtime loss Sunday to Jacksonville, the first time he has missed a game since being drafted in 1998.
