Super Bowl Practice ReportsThursday February 2, 2006


STEELERS
Starting FB Dan Kreider (knee) missed practice again Thursday and remains questionable to play.Backup DE Travis Kirschke (groin) missed practice again Thursday and remains questionable to play. "I haven't changed anybody's status," head coach Bill Cowher said after Thursday's practice. "They're both day-to-day. Hopefully they will work tomorrow."
Backup OLB James Harrison (ankle-probable) practiced again Thursday and is expected to play. Starting S Troy Polamalu was limited on Thursday but will start. He's not listed on the injury report.

SEAHAWKSStarting WR Darrell Jackson isn't listed on the injury report but he had been bothered by swelling in his knee from time to time for the past few months though the issue hasn't cropped up this week. He missed nine games earlier in the season after knee surgery.“My rehabilitation schedule was pretty much easy. Watching the team win. They say. ‘winning conquers all’ and I guess it conquers me being injured and stuff like that. Luckily I was able to rehab good and those guys did a good job. My doctor, Dr. (John) Uribe did a good job with my surgery so I was able to come back and perform at the level I was at the end of the year and contribute a little bit to the Super Bowl run. I’m not really sure how close I am (to 100 percent) I just know I’m able to play and go out there and compete and able to contribute a little bit to help our team win. It’s disappointing with everyone having these accolades this year that it could have been a Pro Bowl year for me but it’s not disappointing because our goals are conquered, we are going to the Super Bowl, we had a good winning streak, our wide receiver group did good, got a lot of praises I was able to come back and contribute a little bit in the end and now I’m in position to play in my first Super Bowl ever," Jackson said.#4 WR D.J. Hackett (hamstring) was added to the injury report as probable after not practicing Thursday. Starting CB Andre Dyson (quadriceps-probable) returned to practice on Thursday and is expected to start. Is he 100 percent?“No, you’re not ever 100 percent. You just have to keep playing and forget about it and go out there – it’s the last game. All I need is 60 more minutes out of my body and then I can rest for a few months," Dyson said.
