MARVEL DONE?

We’re told that Steelers tackle Marvel Smith, who hasn’t played since October 5 at Jacksonville, currently is expected to undergo back surgery, and he will miss the rest of the year.
On Tuesday, coach Mike Tomlin suggested that Smith could return this weekend.
“He’s missed some time. Not only in terms of health, but technically he’s got to be up to speed,” Tomlin said. “He’s got to knock the rust off quickly if he’s going to play for us this weekend.”
Smith, a nine-year veteran, has started every game that he has played since his second year, and he started the first five games of the 2008 season. Max Starks has struggled at times in place of Smith.
