Pittsburgh Gazette on Hines Ward: " His knee feels better, Hines Ward said,
but then he has not tested it either. That will come tomorrow, he hopes, when
the Steelers begin their practices at the University of South Florida. "It feels
better," Ward said several hours after the Steelers' charter landed around noon
yesterday. "I don't have a brace on, I walk around fine. It's not going to be 10
percent, I'm not going to trick anybody, but I think I'm going to be good, to be
able to go out and perform like I want to." The Steelers receiver took a break
yesterday from a stepped-up pace of rehabilitation on his injured knee. "I've
been rehabbing all weekend long. Off today -- I did a little rehab this morning
before we came down here." He will resume this morning, then attend the
Steelers media interviews at Raymond James Stadium and "see where we're at."
"I really can't say because I haven't run or cut or done anything," said Ward,
who did not practice last week after the right MCL was sprained in the first
quarter of the Jan. 18 AFC championship game. "I was just constantly getting
treatment, 24 hours around the clock."
