The Facts:
Ward practiced Monday after being out since Aug. 4 with a sore left hamstring. He has missed both of their exhibition games, although the Steelers' skill-position starters played little in either one. "Fortunately for me, it's the preseason and not the regular season, so I'm not missing the games that really count for us," Ward said Monday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The injury has prevented Ward from working on his timing with Ben Roethlisberger and with getting back up to game speed. He's spent much of his time in camp not running routes but showing them to second-year receiver Nate Washington, who unexpectedly made the roster last season and has had a strong camp this year. ... For what it's worth, Ward also had a short training camp last year for a different reason: a contract holdout that kept him out of camp for about two weeks. This time, he had a week's worth of practice before getting hurt.
