Tomlin and Steelers Begin Prep for Bills

Posted by Matt Loede on September 12th, 2007 filed in News

The Steelers and head coach Mike Tomlin are turning their attention to the Buffalo Bills in preparations for Sunday’s home opener at Heinz Field.  Tomlin says the Steelers are relatively healthy heading into the game.  Cornerback D’Shea Townsend has a minor groin injury but is expected to play on Sunday.  Tomlin also talked about the unfortunate injury to Buffalo reserve tight-end Kevin Everett saying despite the situation he expects the Bills to come into Pittsburgh ready to play.  Tomlin addressed the NFLs investigation into the New England Patriots stealing signs from the New York Jets saying the Steelers are aware of the possibility that teams may do that so precautions are taken.  Tomlin had no comment on what the punishment should be other than to say that he’d leave that up to NFL Commissioner Roger Gudell.  The Steelers will practice this afternoon on the South Side.  Kickoff Sunday set for 1:00 p.m.
