Steelers Add Two More to Injury Report

In this story:
PITTSBURGH -- Mike Tomlin amended the Pittsburgh Steelers' injury report after the team's first practice back at the South Side. The team added two new names to an already lengthy list.
Linebacker Devin Bush did not practice, which Tomlin credited to an ankle injury. Tomlin said it's classified as day-to-day.
Offensive tackle Joe Haeg also sat out of practice with a concussion.
"He's in the protocol and I think he's close to a return, but I am not a medical expert," Tomlin said. "I'll let those guys handle that."
Tomlin added that he's "hopeful" to get receiver Calvin Austin and linebacker Alex Highsmith back from their respective injuries. Highsmith suffered a rib injury during camp at St. Vincent's earlier this month and Austin went down with a foot injury. Tomlin didn't rule either of them out for this weekend's preseason finale against the Detroit Lions.

"I don't eliminate anybody at this stage of the week," Tomlin said. "It doesn't make sense to. We're optimistic and hopeful about all injured guys participating this weekend and we'll make whatever necessary, appropriate moves as the game gets extremely close."
