The final day of on field preparation for the Bengals came and went at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side today. With it came some good news, and some bad news.
The good news came in the way of sack leader Vince Williams being able to practice for the first time since injuring his hip against the Chiefs.
"No Problems," Williams told Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. "I'm full go."
Williams isn't even listed on the official injury report, so he will start on Sunday.
The bad news came in the form of Stephon Tuitt being ruled out after not practicing for the entire week. Tuitt wasn't believed to be hurt in the game against the Chiefs, but he wasn't able to go on Wednesday when a back injury flared up.
Cam Heyward told me was surprised that Stephon Tuitt was unable to practice all week. Said the back issue just cropped up #Steelers

The only other player listed on the injury report is tackle Marcus Gilbert. He hasn't practiced all week, and is listed as doubtful. He will likely be out until after the Steelers bye week and return Nov. 12 vs Indianapolis.
