The Pittsburgh Steelers will be playing another postseason game without Maurkice Pouncey. The Steelers center missed the Super Bowl matchup with the Green Bay Packers last season due to an ankle injury and he'll miss this weekend's AFC Wild Card game against the Denver Broncos.
Maurkice Pouncey Injury: Steelers Center Ruled Out For Broncos Game
Pouncey missed two of the Steelers final three games with the injury. His status for the game had been question but the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports he will not play.
Doug Legursky will likely move from guard to center and Trai Essex will enter at guard.
The Steelers should still win the game, with or without Pouncey. They’re eight point favorites against the Broncos and their defense can make up for whatever offensive deficiencies they have.
