Steelers Saturday Morning News Wire Wrap

Ben Roethlisberger is listed as questionable for Sunday night\’s game in Jacksonville, but should play. Virtual unknown Darnell Stapleton is expected to start at right guard Sunday night at Jacksonville while $7 million man Max Starks probably won’t play a down at tackle unless the injury bug bites again. Head coach Mike Tomlin said the Steelers will use a running back-by-committee approach, with a rotation that also will include Gary Russell, who was promoted from the practice squad four days ago, and perhaps Najeh Davenport, who was re-signed Tuesday after being released in June. Willie Parker, who sprained his left knee two weeks ago, said he is almost at full strength and that the coaches are holding him out of the Jaguars game as a precaution.
