LATROBE, Pa. (AP) Pittsburgh Steelers left tackle Wayne Gandy turned his left ankle Sunday and had to be helped off the practice field.

The initial diagnosis was a lateral sprain that might keep Gandy from practicing for a couple of days.

"We don't think anything's broke," coach Bill Cowher said. "We just think he rolled his ankle over. We'll have a better feel tomorrow."

Gandy was injured on a wide run by Jerome Bettis, and was helped off the field by trainers and quarterback Kordell Stewart.

Cowher moved right guard Oliver Ross to left tackle to replace Gandy and inserted first-round pick Kendall Simmons at right guard.

"He's coming," Cowher said of Simmons. "He's making rookie mistakes. There's mistakes he's making and there's no substitute for throwing him in there. He's seeing things with our offense.

"He's making a position change coming to the NFL. But I like his demeanor. I like his approach. He's just got to keep plugging away."
