Wallace is expected to start if Ward is unable

Dec 08, 2009

Steelers rookie Mike Wallace is expected to start at wide receiver opposite Santonio Holmes if Ward is unable to play. Tomlin said Limas Sweed could also see his first significant action since late September at wideout. "We may need Limas Sweed in some of the big-bodied things that Hines Ward does because Hines Ward is a unique guy," Tomlin said. The Steelers may also add a wide receiver to their 53-man roster before Thursday since they would only have three wideouts against the Browns if Ward is held out. Shaun Mcdonald, who was released Nov. 28 to make room for quarterback Tyler Palko, is the most likely candidate to be signed.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
