Ward says his bruised knee not seriously injured
PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward said an MRI exam on his bruised knee revealed no damage.
Ward, injured in the third quarter of a 37-16 victory over San Francisco on Sunday, walked without a limp while reporting to a team meeting Monday.
Ward was hurt when he took a helmet to the knee, forcing him to leave the game. Coach Mike Tomlin said Sunday the preliminary diagnosis was a bone bruise, but the team plans no further injury update later today.
It is uncertain if the injury will prevent the four-time Pro Bowl receiver from playing Sunday at Arizona.
