[Steelers] Steelers C Justin Hartwig To Play Despite Injury

It turned out that two key Steelers starters were injured Sunday, although both remained in the game, but they expect to play in the AFC championship game against the Baltimore Ravens. All-Pro strong safety Troy Polamalu has a strained calf that was injured in pregame warm-ups, and center Justin Hartwig injured a knee in the second quarter. "[Polamalu] was able to go in the football game, which was good," coach Mike Tomlin said yesterday, revealing the injury for the first time. "We tempered that because we wanted to see what he felt like in the days that followed the performance. All indications are that he will be able to play in this game. Hartwig also may not practice today. "He was fitted with a brace at halftime and really, played at a higher level in the second half than he did the first, so I don't imagine that will stop him from seeing any action," Tomlin said.

He looked good playing through the injury Jamal Williams didn't make to much noise, so I expect more of the same this week.
