TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens
The Pittsburgh Steelers just cannot catch a break. In a week which the team fervently hopes quarterback Ben Roethlisberger can return to action, wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders will be limited in practice due to a shoulder sprain according to Mike Bires of the Beaver County Times.
The good news is that Sanders does not expect to miss Sunday's game against the Chargers. Sanders suffered the injury late in last Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. He will maintain his co-sdtarter status with Mike Wallace, who is also battling an injury (knee). Source: The Redzone Attached Thumbnails
