All signs are pointing to Brett Keisel playing on Sunday in Buffalo:
Defensive end Brett Keisel said his hamstring is healed, and he is ready for the game Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.
“I feel good. I got two zeros, man, and a one,” he said, referring to his 100 percent health. “I’m chomping at the bit to get back out there.”
The hamstring kept him out of most of the past five games. He returned Nov. 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but reinjured the hamstring in the game.
“I think he’s ready to go, definitely,” defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau said. “The training staff gave him the OK to practice and he’s practiced all week, I don’t think he missed a snap.”
Keisel was injured one game before Aaron Smith tore a triceps tendon against the Miami Dolphins Oct. 24, meaning Nick Eason and Ziggy Hood have played at end recently. While recovering, Keisel helped them, especially Hood, a second-year player, with the intricacies of the position.
“Just help them watch tape, help them look at the offensive lineman’s stance — any little tendency that you can get when you’re on the field that can help you play faster and quicker, helps,” Keisel said.

Not that this has anything to do with anything but as I sit here and watch Pitt’s error-prone offense at Heinz Field, when are the Rooney’s gonna go and spring for that synthetic turf that like everyone in the world has except us!!!!! That field is barely fit for farm vermin, hell I did my internship at Lafayette, a division I-AA school and their stadium has that stuff—it’s soft and almost identical to grass but without the wear and tear—Muhlenberg College in Allentown, a division III school has it….So, I dunno, Steelers are no longer 3 and a cloud but rather finesse which is better suited to a synthetic field.
