Steelers starting running back Willie Parker denied the NFL.com report on Sunday and told ESPN's Bob Holtzman no one has told him he has a torn labrum. According to NFL.com, Parker was told this week he has a torn labrum in his shoulder that will require offseason surgery. Parker said the first he heard of the report was when he got a call from his agent Sunday morning. Parker said his body is "beat up" but does not expect to be out for the season and hopes to play next week.
