Mike Tomlin: Maurkice Pouncey Not Ruled Out of Super Bowl Yet

Filed under: Packers, Steelers, NFL Injuries, Super Bowl

FORT WORTH, Texas -- It was hardly an inspirational sight, the shot of inured Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey hobbling off the Steelers' team plane on crutches. And with various reports over the past couple of days indicating that Pouncey won't play in the Super Bowl on Sunday, it looked especially bleak. But Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Monday that the Steelers have been treating Pouncey's high ankle sprain aggressively, and that he wasn't ready to rule his rookie center out just yet.

"He's not on a running clock, in my mind, until Wednesday," Tomlin said. "So we're going to continue to be as aggressive as we can and give him every opportunity to get into this football game."
