"Brett Keisel is arrow pointed up," said Tomlin. "He has been in and worked out. He may even participate in a partial capacity (on Wednesday), definitely on Thursday. We'll see where the week's preparation takes us in regards to his availability."
Nose tackle Steve McLendon is expected to return to action after sitting out the Bengals game with his ankle injury. He should practice on Wednesday, with increased participation throughout the week.
