The Steelers wrapped up practice preparations on Friday for the game on Sunday versus the Ravens. Linebacker James Harrison (biceps) was added to the injury report after missing Friday with a bicep injury. Harrison is listed as questionable. Safety Troy Polamalu (knee), guard Chris Kemoeatu (wrist) and cornerback Keenan Lewis (back) did not practice on Friday and all three are listed as out on the injury report. Defensive end Brett Keisel (neck), running back Willie Parker (knee), wide receiver Hines Ward (hamstring), running back Rashard Mendenhall (hip) and wide receiver Mike Wallace (knee) all practice fully on Friday and all are listed as probable. Cornerback Anthony Madison (illness) was removed from the Friday injury report after working fully again on Friday.
For the Ravens on Friday, tackle Jared Gaither (foot), linebacker Tavares Gooden (groin) and safety Ed Reed (groin) all did not participate on Friday and all three are listed as doubtful on the injury report. Long-snapper Matt Katula (forearm) is one of five players who are questionable. If Katula can't play, Nick Sundberg would be signed from the practice squad. Sundberg has taken all the snaps as the long snapper this week. The other Ravens who were questionable are: defensive tackle Justin Bannan (illness), wide receiver Mark Clayton (knee), defensive tackle Kelly Talavou (knee), tight end Edgar Jones (back). The Ravens who are probable: wide receiver Demetrius Williams (knee), linebacker Jarret Johnson (knee), center Matt Birk (neck), wide receiver Justin Harper (foot), tight end Todd Heap (chest), defensive tackle Haloti Ngata (ankle), tight end L.J. Smith (ankle) and wide receiver Kelley Washington (ankle).
Safety Troy Polamalu (knee) did not practice again on Thursday and now seems to be highly doubtful to play on Sunday. Guard Chris Kemoeatu (wrist) did not practice on Thursday after working fully on Wednesday and was added to the injury report. Cornerback Keenan Lewis (back) also sat out today after being limited on Wednesday. Defensive end Brett Keisel (neck), cornerback Anthony Madison (illness), running back Willie Parker (knee), wide receiver Hines Ward (hamstring), running back Rashard Mendenhall (hip) and wide receiver Mike Wallace (knee) all practice fully on Thursday and all should be good to go baring any setbacks.

Safety Troy Polamalu (knee), defensive end Brett Keisel (neck), cornerback Anthony Madison (illness), running back Willie Parker (knee) and wide receiver Hines Ward (hamstring) all sat out on Wednesday.
