OLB Woodley and RT Adams back at practice after missing Wednesday

A couple of banged up Steelers did some work on Thursday with the team, as both OLB LaMarr Woodley, who is battling a hamstring issue and RT Flozell Adams, who hurt his ankle in the Miami win, seem to be on the track to playing Sunday night at New Orleans. Both of the starters sat [...]
