Steelers C Pouncey

Steeler’s C Pouncey ankle sprain - Steelers coach Mike Tomlin would not rule out his Pro Bowl rookie center Monday, despite Pouncey having a high left ankle sprain. Pouncey needed crutches to walk down the steps from the team’s charter flight in Dallas, and wore a bulky walking boot on his left foot.

According to media reports, Pouncey also has a broken bone in the ankle—a report Tomlin would neither confirm nor deny.

“I’m sure it could be regarded as that,” Tomlin said vaguely. “I’m sure I’ve got something floating around in my ankle. The issue that’s keeping him from participating is the high ankle sprain.”
