    A sprained left ankle won't keep Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger out of Sunday's AFC wild-card game in Denver, but one could sideline starting center Maurkice Pouncey.

    Pouncey was listed as questionable on the Steelers' injury report, but told ESPN's Josina Anderson Friday he would miss the game.

    "I am very distraught about not being able to play in this game," Pouncey said. "Since I am unable to be on the front line grinding with my teammates I wil be on the sidelines pushing them and hyping up the Steeler Nation. Go Steelers."

    Pouncey missed practice Thursday and Friday because of increased soreness in his left ankle. The Pro Bowl center played in the regular-season finale against Cleveland last week after missing two games but complained of problems with the ankle following Wednesday's practice.
