Hines Ward (knee scope) will rejoin the Steelers for their offseason conditioning program on Monday. The Steelers and a few other clubs begin their program today. Ward has been running on his own and is likely close to fully recovered from the surgery. "Things are going well with him," coach Mike Tomlin confirmed. Willie Parker (broken fibula) has been doing running on his own at his home in North Carolina since last season ended. The Steelers said in January that if Parker had broken his leg earlier in the season, he could've played in their last few games. They're "optimistic" that Parker will return at full speed, but he figures to be limited during OTAs. Rotoworld.com
