    Tomlin: Steelers 'relatively healthy' going into prime-time tilt with Bengals

    Mike Tomlin said today the Steelers are extremely healthy heading into their AFC showdown with the Bengals Sunday night.

    Tomlin said the Steelers had only two players get injured in their 20-12 win over the Chiefs Sunday and none of them are serious and three key injured players have a chance to return.

    “Vince Williams has an ankle [injury], we will see where he is,” Tomlin said. “Kelvin Beachum has a lower-back issue. Then we have the three guys who will be evaluated this week and we will let our evaluation be our guide as the week progresses -- that would be Ike Taylor (shoulder/forearm), Matt Spaeth (elbow) and Troy [Polamalu] (knee).

    “Largely, we came out of this game relatively healthy and that’s good.”...........

    Ike plays better when he is on the bench.

    That late bye week is paying dividends right about now.

    I agree. I always hated when we had early bye weeks.

    You mean pretty much the last 4 years straight before this one? I'm sure the balance of the universe will be restored this offseason and we'll get stuck with our usual week 3/4 bye again next year...

    We have been fortunate.

    I swear it seemed like some games the past few years our entire offensive line was backups.

    ...or maybe it just seemed that way because they sucked so bad. lol

    Do the team a favor and put Ike on IR.
