A thumb injury prevented Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Antwon Blake from practicing on Wednesday but the former undrafted free agent said Thursday morning that he expects to practice later in the day, according to Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Antwon Blake said he'll practice today. Missed yesterday with a thumb injury.

Blake was spotted wearing a cast on Wednesday, so the injury certainly has some level of significance to it. However, head coach Mike Tomlin didn’t mention Blake during his rundown of the team’s injuries when he talked to the media on Tuesday.
