Report: Hines Ward Will Not Return to Steelers

The most decorated wide receiver in Pittsburgh Steelers history probably will not be wearing black and gold next season.

The Steelers are working to restructure their salary situation heading into next season, which could mean the end of Hines Ward's days in Pittsburgh, NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora reported Friday. The four-time Pro Bowl receiver has played 14 seasons in the NFL, all as a member of the Steelers.

Ward, 35, is the franchise's career leading with 1,000 receptions and 12,083 receiving yards.
