Big Ben, Polamalu practice, listed as probable vs. Browns

PITTSBURGH -- Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and safety Troy Polamalu each attended a full practice Friday and are listed as probable for this weekend's regular-season finale at Cleveland.

Roethlisberger practiced all week after missing last Saturday's 27-0 victory over the St. Louis Rams because of a high ankle sprain. The injury occurred three weeks ago in a home win over the Browns, but he played the following Monday at San Francisco and threw three interceptions during a 20-3 loss to the 49ers.

Polamalu (knee) didn't practice until Friday, but he's expected to start Sunday. Center Maurkice Pouncey missed the past two games with a high ankle sprain but said he's going to play.

Linebacker James Harrison (neck) and wide receivers Mike Wallace (ankle) and Emmanuel Sanders (foot) are listed as probable.

LaMarr Woodley (hamstring) is doubtful after not practicing Friday, and Jason Worilds likely will make his seventh start at outside linebacker.

The playoff-bound Steelers need a win and a Baltimore Ravens loss at Cincinnati to win the AFC North and earn a first-round playoff bye.
