Two days after Groundhog Day, the Steelers had a groundhog of their own to monitor.
Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey, who told NFL Network's Deion Sanders that he had a 75-percent chance of playing in Super Bowl XLV despite a high ankle sprain, did not practice today.
Throughout the week, Pouncey and head coach Mike Tomlin said his status for Super Bowl Sunday depended on whether he could practice Friday.
Well, unlike the groundhog, who obviously saw his shadow considering the weather we've recently had, Pouncey did not see his shadow.
Therefore, Tomlin told ESPN's Suzy Kolber that he will not be playing against the Green Bay Packers' blitz-happy defense.
Instead, Doug Legursky will be taking his place.
