Steelers expect to get 3 starters back

Three Pittsburgh Steelers starters should return this week after missing Sunday's game, and another who was injured also could be back against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday.

Defensive end Brett Keisel (foot), outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley (calf) and guard Ramon Foster (ankle) missed Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions.

"We anticipate all other ones to have a legitimate opportunity to participate in the game," Tomlin said. "The preparation may be limited in some way in the early portions of the week."

Tomlin was also encouraged that wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders could be back as well for the Browns game, after injuring his right foot and not returning.

"We'll see how his body responds," Tomlin said. "He's feeling much better than he did on Sunday."
