The Steelers expect to be without Emmanuel Sanders on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.
The wide receiver has been in Texas all week, dealing with the death of his mother, Stephanie. Her funeral is Saturday, and Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians said he doesn't anticipate Sanders playing the following night.
"Even if he makes it back in time, I mean this is something that we're not expecting," Arians said Thursday following practice. "It's hard, when you lose your mother at such a young age to be able to come back and play. Our prayers and hearts just go out to him and his family."
Starting wide receiver Hines Ward, who practiced on a limited basis yesterday, has said he will play against the Ravens after missing last week's game because of a sprained ankle. Jerricho Cotchery again will have an increased role in the passing game if Sanders doesn't play.

| I can respect the fact that he may not be there, but something tells me that this guy wants to make an impact on Sunday.
I'm not saying I expect him there, but I was thinking something along the lines of what Farve did when his dad passed away. Come out and have a monsterous game.
Either way ES88, take care of your personals, I pray God's Peace and Comfort surround you this weekend as you deal with your personal lose. _________________  60 MIN 53 MEN 1 NATION STEELERS NATION  I am the MAN that created the MYTH that started the LEGEND

| Yeah, I'm glad he's not pulling a Favre and trying to play. Football is just a game. Take care of your family, young man. And we'll see you when you return. _________________ If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass. | |
