TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 27 (UPI) -- Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward, rehabilitating a sprained knee, said Tuesday he will probably suit up Sunday for Super Bowl XLIII.

Ward, 32, had his knee bent backwards after making a catch in the AFC Championship game against Baltimore.

On Media Day in Tampa, Fla., Ward told reporters, "Having a whole week off last week, I've tried to put two weeks of rehab into one week. I feel good."

In the Steelers' fifth Super Bowl win against Seattle three years ago, Ward caught five passes for 123 yards and a touchdown, and was the game's MVP.
