Center Maurkice Pouncey (http://www.steelersuniverse.com/team/roster/maurkice-pouncey/9d33439a-ec2b-4a65-a2a2-0b63719b0604/) was held out of practice on Monday after reinjuring his ankle in the first quarter of Saturday night’s preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons at Heinz Field.

“Everybody fell on my ankle and I was underneath the pile,” said Pouncey “But it’s something I have to deal with. It will get better with time.”

Pouncey originally injured the ankle last season in the AFC Championship game against the New York Jets and was unable to play in Super Bowl XLV. He said he knew the injury wasn’t as bad this time because he was able to walk off the field and last time had to be helped off, but it did bring back some bad memories............

perhaps wear an active-ankle brace. i wore one from time to time when i played basketball. i was never a fan of taping up ankles.

It's not like Pouncey is going to play against Carolina.

I think all of the starters will play less in this game before Baltimore.

I'm just wondering if some players will be diving on a pile looking to take a free shot at Pouncey's ankle. No one could be that dirty could they. Naaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

I'm worried about Pouncey...this could be a problem all year...

I just hope we don't rush Pouncey. Sure I want him on the field against the Ratbirds, but if he is not 100% don't play him! If he re injures it during the season it will keep him out a lot longer if not the season and we need him later in the season than earlier.

If Legursky is playing RG, who's playing center against the Panthers?
