Wide receiver Hines Ward said today that if the Super Bowl were held this Sunday, he would play.

That he has an extra week to get his sprained right knee ready for the Arizona Cardinals is a bonus.

"Things feel good," Ward said. "The MRI came out pretty good; where I sprained it at was in a good place and it's a great place to heal. I have a whole week off and we'll see what happens next week."

Asked though if the game were to be played this Sunday, Ward said, "I would play."
The MCL in Ward's right knee was sprained in the first quarter of last Sunday's AFC championship game at Heinz Field.
