Linebacker Vince Williams and nose tackle Tyson Alualu were missing from Steelers practice yesterday on the first day of workouts for Sunday’s Cleveland playoff game. Williams has a quad injury and Alualu an ankle sprain.
As expected, guard Matt Feiler and linebacker Robert Spilanne returned to the practice field. They are still on the injured reserve list but can return as early as Sunday if the Steelers activate them. The team has 21 days to make a decision.
Safety Terrell Edmunds was a full participant after missing last Sunday’s game with a shoulder injury. Cornerback Steven Nelson was a limited participant with a knee injury and kicker Chris Boswell was limited to protect his groin injury.
