CINCINNATI — LaMarr Woodley said he did some light jogging before Sunday's game at Paul Brown Stadium, and the Steelers are hopeful the outside linebacker will return to action after this week's bye.

Woodley, who has nine sacks, has missed the past two games because of a hamstring injury. He and outside linebacker James Harrison have played in parts of only four games together because of injuries.

When asked if he anticipates having Woodley and Harrison when the Steelers visit the Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 27, defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau said, "I think so."

The bye also will give receivers Emmanuel Sanders (knee) and Arnaz Battle (hamstring) time to get healthy. The two, along with Woodley, didn't dress for the Steelers' 24-17 win over the Bengals yesterday.

The Steelers emerged from the game relatively healthy.

Free safety Ryan Clark and left tackle Max Starks sustained shoulder and stinger injuries, respectively, but later returned.

Starks stayed down after feeling a burning sensation in the third quarter, but he missed only one play on what proved to be the game-winning drive.

"I felt fine," Starks said.

The only way I want to see Woodley come back is if he's 100 percent healthy. I think we can get by without him against the Chiefs. Give him two more weeks to heal if he needs it.

While Woodley is a playmaker, I would not want him to rush back. Let him take his time to come back instead of drag a nagging injury on throughout the rest of the season.

We wouldn't want Woodley to miss the final dance with Big Joe in the playoffs Twisted Evil

I agree guys. Let Woodley heal up 100%. Having him healthy and well rested down the stretch and in to the playoffs would be a huge advantage.
