Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger aggravates ankle sprain Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said he aggravated his sprained left ankle in a 13-9 win at Cleveland last weekend but expects to play in the team's AFC first-round game at Denver on Sunday. Roethlisberger said he experienced a "setback" early in the third quarter but isn't sure when it happened. He completed 23 of 40 passes for 221 yards while taking every snap. Roethlisberger was limited in practice Wednesday and walked into the trainer's room afterward with a noticeable limp. He injured the ankle while beating the Browns on Dec. 8 and missed a 24-0 win over St. Louis on Dec. 24 before returning in the regular-season finale. Center Maurkice Pouncey (left ankle) was also limited in practice while linebacker James Harrison (toe), defensive end Brett Keisel (right groin), running back Mewelde Moore (sprained left knee) and safety Troy Polamalu (right calf) did not practice. All but Moore are expected to play against the Broncos. Ex-Bear Sam Hurd indicted A federal grand jury indicted former Chicago Bears receiver Sam Hurd on drug conspiracy and possession charges after he and another man were accused of trying to establish a drug-dealing network. The indictment accuses Hurd and codefendant Toby Lujan on single counts of cocaine possession and conspiracy to possess cocaine. It also seeks forfeiture of $88,000 in cash by Lujan and a 2010 Cadillac Escalade by Hurd. If convicted, both could be sentenced to 10 years to life in prison. Hurd was arrested Dec. 14 outside a Chicago steakhouse after authorities said he agreed to buy a kilogram of cocaine from an undercover agent. Packers' Jennings on mend For the first time since injuring a knee last month, Greg Jennings ran routes against the Green Bay Packers' defense in practice - an indication that the Pro Bowl wide receiver is on track to return for the playoffs. "Running out there, running routes on air [by yourself], anybody can do that," Jennings said. When you have a guy leaning on you and trying to jam you and reacting to it, you're kind of going to instinctively react, instead of strategically going about something. And that was huge for me to know that I can just react and respond to a guy up in my face and be able to still beat the jam and try to kick it into another gear when the ball's in the air. Jennings tore his left medial collateral ligament in the Packers' Dec. 11 victory over Oakland. He sat out the final three games of the regular season. The Packers, who have a first-round playoff bye, host a divisional game Jan. 15. Bengals' Dalton sits out practice Rookie quarterback Andy Dalton sat out practice because of flu, leaving backup Bruce Gradkowski to run the Bengals offense during another sub-freezing workout in Cincinnati. Coach Marvin Lewis said Dalton should be back Thursday. The quarterback is expected to play Saturday at Houston against the Texans in an AFC first-round playoff game. The Bengals (9-7) will be trying to get their first playoff win since the 1990 season. The Indianapolis Colts won't bring back special teams coordinator Ray Rychleski next season. The Colts said in a statement that Coach Jim Caldwell wanted to make a change. Indianapolis ranked last in the league in kickoff return average (18.6 yards) and punt return average (3.4). ... Chicago Bears special teams coordinator Dave Toub is the latest candidate to interview for the Miami Dolphins' coaching job. The Dolphins completed a two-day interview with Toub on Wednesday. They have also interviewed former Titans coach Jeff Fisher and Todd Bowles, who was Miami's interim coach for the final three games this season after Tony Sparano was fired. ... The Buffalo Bills and free-agent receiver David Clowney agreed to a contract. He has been out of football since he was waived by Carolina before the season.
