Steelers starting defensive end Brett Keisel has reportedly suffered only a sprained left knee against the Bengals and is expected to miss the next few games according to reports. The injury was feared at first to be more serious. Although missing a few weeks will be bad, it is much better than being out for the year. Keisel hopefully will be available come playoff time, should the Steelers advance that far. Travis Kirschke is expected to fill in in the absence of Keisel. Head coach Mike Tomlin will address all injuries at noon during his weekly press conference.
