Steelers' bye week recovery plan: Run wind sprints, drink Pedialyte

PITTSBURGH -- One of the league's most banged-up teams is embracing the bye week to get right, using various methods to do so.

Pittsburgh Steelers ide receiver Markus Wheaton talked about returning from a shoulder injury while holding a bottle with an orange liquid. He confirmed he has been chugging the children's drink Pedialyte for the adult benefits.

"Helps with hydration," said Wheaton, who plans to return to game action after missing four games with an AC joint issue.
