Under normal circumstances, Steelers safety Ryan Clark said he would have taken a couple of days off this week to rest his sore midsection.

But the Steelers secondary has been ravaged by injuries recently, and Clark said Thursday he felt like he had to practice because the young cornerbacks who will play Sunday against Dallas needed guidance as they prepared to face the Cowboys.

Josh Victorian and Robert Golden are not household names, even among the most die-hard of Steelers fans, but they will be on center stage against quarterback Tony Romo and wider receiver Dez Bryant because two of the team's top three cornerbacks are injured.

The Steelers will be without starting cornerback Ike Taylor for a second consecutive week because of a leg injury. Cortez Allen, his replacement, likely will miss the game because of a groin injury. Allen did not practice all week and is listed as doubtful...........

They're going to be a good crew down the road.

Yeah, the did what they could do. Not their fault their teammate can't secure the ball on a punt return.

I wish that I had your faith in them because I haven't seen anything that would make me optimistic.

Maybe we can start putting some wide receivers at the corner position. Someone who can go after the ball. Wouldn't that be sweet?
