Steelers safety Carter ready to play against Bengals on Sunday

The Pittsburgh Steelers safety Tyrone Carter was able to practice on limited basis on Wednesday, and according to Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin, Carter might be able to play by Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Carter was in coverage for both Chicago touchdowns as the Steelers lost 17-14 on Sunday and bruised his left thigh. As replacement for injured safety Troy Polamalu, Carter was expected to wear back bengals jersey and return to field as soon as possible, and Tomlin said Tuesday that he wouldn’t second-guess his decision to keep Carter in the game, and that he trusts the medical staff to make the right decision whether he could play.

Carter said after the loss to Bears that he probably shouldn’t have been on the field when he gave up Johnny Knox’s touchdown catch with 6:21 left because he couldn’t cover Knox by himself while hurt.
