Pittsburgh Steelers: Guard Kendall Simmons ended up with the weirdest injury of the early season. He was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Chiefs because he suffered what appears to be frost bite. It's believed he fell asleep with an ice bag attached to his injured ankle while watching the Monday night game between the Broncos and Ravens. He's expected to be out until the skin grows back on his ankle. He will be replaced by Chris Kemoeatu. Cornerback Deshea Townsend didn't practice Friday because of his hamstring injury and remains very questionable. Odds aren't favoring him playing. If Townsend doesn't play, that would mean the Steelers lost three starters with injuries this week. Joey Porter pulled a hamstring in practice this week. Townsend hurt his hamstring on Wednesday. Out are linebacker James Harrison (ankle) and wide receiver Willie Reid (foot). Fullback Dan Kreider (knee) and defensive end Brett Keisel (ribs), who both practiced Friday, are probable and expected to play.
Kansas City Chiefs: It was a good day for wide receiver Dante Hall, who is questionable with a hip and should be available for some duty. Running back Larry Johnson (neck), tight end Kris Wilson (ankle) and left tackle Kyle Turley (back) are probable and each had good practices on Friday. They should play. Out are tackle Will Svitek (knee), linebacker Rich Scanlon (knee), running back Michael Bennett (hamstring), quarterback Trent Green (head) and cornerback Benny Sapp (knee).
