PITTSBURGH -- After not practicing all week Ladarius Green (concussion) is listed as doubtful for the Pittsburgh Steelers" AFC divisional round playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
He is in concussion protocol, Mike Tomlin said Tuesday.
Backup outside linebacker Anthony Chickillo (ankle) was ruled out. He did not practice all week.
Defensive end Ricardo Matthews (high right ankle sprain), who said Thursday that Friday"s practice would be his test for playing in the game or not, was a limited participant in Friday"s session. Matthews would give Pittsburgh as many as four defensive ends on the game day roster, joining Stephon Tuitt, L.T. Walton and Johnny Maxey.
Matthews is listed as questionable for Kansas City along with reserve running back Fitzgerald Toussaint (concussion).
Toussaint is the off returner on kickoffs next to Sammie Coates. Mike Tomlin said Justin Gilbert is an option on kick returns. Demarcus Ayers and Artie Burns have both said they won"t be taking them.
Gilbert missed Pittsburgh"s 30-12 win over the Miami Dolphins in the Wild Card round after struggling with a shoulder injury during the week. Tomlin said it affected his preparation.
Cobi Hamilton has also fielded kick returns this year, when Sammie Coates was fighting a hamstring injury, which Coates said has since healed.
Joey Porter is back for the chiefs game
