Steelers outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley and right tackle Mike Adams have been ruled out for Sunday's Week 14 game against San Diego. Neither practiced at all this week, and their likelihood of playing wasn't ever very large. Along with cornerback Ike Taylor, who fractured his ankle in the Steelers' Week 13 win over the Ravens. He'll likely miss at least the Steelers' Week 15 game against Dallas as well. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who earlier this week said he will start, is probable along with eight others: receivers Antonio Brown (ankle), Emmanuel Sanders (shoulder), Mike Wallace (knee) and Jerricho Cotchery (ribs); punter Drew Butler (illness), safeties Troy Polamalu (not injury related) and Ryan Clark (hip); fullback Will Johnson (concussion) and guard Willie Colon (knee).
