    Post-Gazette reporter Gerry Dulac tweeted Saturday that C Maurkice Pouncey isn't expected to play in Pittsburgh's Week 15 game at San Francisco as he's recovering from a high ankle sprain sustained in Week 14. QB Ben Roethlisberger was limited in practice Friday, did not practice Thursday and if he cannot practice today, he will not play Monday. Starting LG Doug Legursky will replace Pouncey at center, and veteran OL Trai Essex will move over to the left guard position. QB Charlie Batch will start in place of Roethlisberger.

    well, at least a backup center and qb should have a well practiced snap exchange.

    Crowned Doesn't give a shit.

    What? Ben is questionable after 2 limited days of practice now and Pouncey is out. Ben is playing.
