Steelers' Ike Taylor expected to return Sunday vs. Saints

It appears the Pittsburgh Steelers' defense will be getting one of its top players back this week.

After missing the team's past eight games with a broken forearm, veteran cornerback Ike Taylor is expected to play in Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints, head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday.

Although he is now 34-years-old, the 12th-year veteran should give the secondary a much-needed boost in pass coverage as the Steelers try to make a playoff push over the last five games of the regular season.
