Hines Ward says the hit he took Sunday night from Patriots safety James Sanders was a clean hit from his point of view. “It was clean, I think. It was helmet to helmet, though. His helmet hit my helmet on the side. I don\’t know what the league wants. It was a good hit as far as I remember and I remember everything.”
Ward said he will play Sunday against the visiting Oakland Raiders despite being held out by the team doctors Sunday night.

Donal Henderson, the agent for Steelers kicker Jeff Reed, said he has not heard anything about the Steelers like or dislike with Reed. The Steelers are expected to bring in free agent Shaun Suisham and even perhaps Matt Stover today to kick for the coaches.
