Haden decision 'came down to the wire'
Joe Haden - DB - Cleveland Browns
Nov. 19, 2012 - 2:25 PM ET

According to Browns coach Pat Shurmur, the decision to deactivate CB Joe Haden (oblique) for Week 11 "came down to the wire."

It suggests Haden has a good chance at returning against Pittsburgh. Cleveland's pass defense fared surprisingly well against Dallas without its top corner, but his absence in Week 12 would be a huge boon for the Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger-less passing attack. Barring a setback, Haden should be ready to roll against Pittsburgh.
