Steelers @ Baltimore: The Friday Injury Report

Heading into the biggest game of the NFL weekend, we were intrigued to see that Ravens kicker Matt Stover is nursing an ankle injury; and after not practicing Wednesday or Thursday his participation on Friday was limited. So while the "experts" go on about the defensive struggle that will ensue on Sunday they seem to be ignoring an important, developing story (i.e. will Mr. Stover be able to kick as effectively as usual?).

Here is the full injury report from the NFL"
