The Steelers have been strengthened by the return of 2 previously injured players this week, with safety Troy Polamalu and running back Willie Parker, both back for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns at Heinz Field.
However it would seem the coach has been left with a selection nightmare, with just one of them set to start. Polamalu, who missed four games with a sprained medial collateral ligament, has been in training all week. He is due to make his comeback and will start against the Browns, wearing a protective brace.
Parker on the other hand, who missed the past two games with a toe injury, is expected to be replaced again in the starting lineup by Rashard Mendenhall, despite the fact he had been present during training all week. Meanwhile, Mendenhall returned to practice today after missing Thursday's session with flu. The Steelers are without any pre planned rotation system for Mendenhall and Parker, meaning the flow of the game will ultimately determine whether Parker gets a run out.
