As per the Tuesday Mike Tomlin press conference, the Steelers will be without RB Willie Parker (knee sprain), NT Casey Hampton (groin), and for the second week, DE Brett Keisel (calf), on Monday night against the Ravens. Parker will be replaced by rookie Rashard Mendenhall, who's gotten just 10 carries this season. Hampton will be replaced by Chris Hoke, who's played in all but three Steeler games the past three season. Tomlin did not specify how long Parker would be out.
And in other news (not from the press conference), Pittsburgh's own Marc Bulger (he of the $65 million contract) just got benched in favor of Trent Green in St. Louis. I'm sure this will immediately changes the Rams' fortunes.
