At least this happened now and not during the end of the season. Still a kick in the jewels though.

Question: Is Hines Ward going to play in the opener?

He's listed as "questionable". That basically boils down to "yes".

This is not good. Not good at all.

CS85 - yes, Hines is playing on Thursday.

After giving the news on Ben, Cowher said Ward completed the entire practice and "looked good." With Ben out I bet Ward will find a way to get out there - not wild about Charlie having to throw to Wilson and - who knows - Nate Washington?

Maybe this is a chance for Santonio Holmes to have all of us forget the past by having a decent game. Time for somebody to step up!

I can't say anything else here but - arghhhhhh!

Please Charlie - step up here and prove me wrong - please!!!!! This is just not good, especially with the Steelers playing the Dolphs, Jags and Bungles the first 3 weeks of the season. I'm staying positive, though - look how quickly he healed from his almost fatal accident - let's keep our fingers crossed that he can heal quickly here, too. A laproscopic surgery has a much faster healing time than the old traditional appendectomy.

HURRY BACK BEN - WE NEED YOU!!!

Here is the video of Cowher's press conference if anyone is interested.

At the Kickoff Luncheon XT and I attended last Thursday, when Hines spoke to the audience, he said he "would be in the lineup for the opener against Miami".

Bad news is all relative - an appendectomy is certainly not good news but compared to the crazy story about the San Diego linebacker who got shot 3 times last night by an off duty cop (that story is over on the NFL board - http://www.kusi.com/home/3815221.html) it is not the end of the world.

If the Steelers win on Thursday my guess is Ben will not be rushed back and does not come back until week 3 against the Bengals
