The Steelers held their final Thursday practice of the season today at the University of South Florida practice fields in preparation for Super Bowl 43 on Sunday versus the Arizona Cardinals. WR Hines Ward (knee) remains the lone listing on the Steelers injury report and he practiced fully on Thursday despite wearing a knee brace. Ward seems ready to go and it will be important to see how the knee responds on Friday.
