Steelers Pro Bowl running back Willie Parker, who was hoping to return from a two-game absence because of a knee injury, did not practice today and will not play Sunday in Cincinnati.
Parker is expected to be joined on the sidelines by left tackle Marvel Smith, who has not praciced all week because of back spasms, and Pro Bowl nose tackle Casey Hampton, who has missed the past two games with a groin injury.
Hampton practiced on a limited basis today, but he is expected to sit out another week and be replaced by Chris Hoke. Smith will be replaced in the starting lineup by Max Starks, who started four games at left tackle last season when Smith was injured.
