Troy Polamalu returns to the field for the Steelers. His absence has had an impact on a Steelers pass defense that has slipped to 14th. He returned to practice this week and is expected to play against the Browns. Meanwhile, Steelers quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, continues to improve his accuracy.
Cleveland quarterback Derrick Anderson is coming off the worst statistical game of his career, having completed 2-of-17 passes for just 23 yards with no touchdowns and an interception.
