Two teams hoping to get in the win column this meet at Heinz Field Sunday when the Pittsburgh Steelers host the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle is slightly more banged up than Pittsburgh, but neither team has really been ravaged by the injury bug early on this season. For the Steelers, only Jerricho Cotchery (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game. For the Seahawks, the list is a bit longer.One injury update of note for Seattle is that recently acquired OG Robert Gallery will play this Sunday. The former Oakland Raider missed the Seahawks' opener with a knee injury. With Gallery back in the lineup, rookie James Carpenter will slide outside to right tackle, and will square off against LaMarr Woodley in what should be quite the test for the rookie out of Alabama.
Let's take a look at the complete injury and practice reports for both squads.
