08:05 AM ET 01.27 | More than a week out, it appears unlikely that Maurkice Pouncey's outstanding rookie season will include a Super Bowl appearance. According to teammate Chris Kemoeatu, the Steelers will be without Pouncey for Super Bowl XLV against Green Bay after suffering what was initially being diagnosed as a left high ankle sprain. "We are definitely sad that he won't be able to be with us in the Super Bowl," said Kemoeatu following today's practice on the South Side. "Definitely I feel bad for him. We just have to win it for him." Pouncey suffered the injury early in last week's AFC Championship Game against the N.Y. Jets. He did not return to the game and was relegated to crutches on the sidelines for the duration of the 24-19 victory. Pouncey got an X-ray on the ankle Monday and was fitted for a cast.

I'm surprised that they can't give him something for it, even for a one game treatment, like freezing it or something. Or rub some dirt on it.

Lots of pressure on the ankles of a lineman, especially a center. That is a huge loss with the way he's played this year.

Go Steelers!

You can't just give it to GB simply because Pouncey is out.

Of course not...

... I think Pitt wins this by at least 2 TD's, even without Pouncey.

A score of 24-10 appears solid.

They still have 20 other starters available, and reliable backups on the OL...

... you think a rookie lineman is gonna make or break the Steeler SB chances?

I'm rooting for the Pack but Pouncey is a good kid. He deserved this game. Maybe they'll let him on the field for a series...then again, probably not.

Yeah... and if it wasn't down here, I guess I'd have to find something else to do.

Has the onslaught of Pack and Steelers fans started or is that likely to start on the weekend?

I'm trying to convince my grandson that this Saturday is when we should be going to the NFL experience. He wants to wait until next Saturday.

I have a bad feeling that there will be a LOT of long lines next Saturday...
