Troy Polamalu
No Timetable On Return
With the Pittsburgh Steelers fast running out of games and his left knee still not healed, star safety Troy Polamalu isn't certain if he will be back this season.Polamalu is hopeful of playing again, but he said Tuesday there is no definitive date for his return.Polamalu's latest injury, to his posterior cruciate ligament, was initially expected to be less severe than the anterior cruciate ligament injury that kept him out of the Steelers' second through fifth games. But he won't play Thursday night in Cleveland, the fourth consecutive game he's missed with his latest injury.Polamalu's lengthy injury layoffs have visibly affected a Steelers defense that was the NFL's best statistically in 2007 and 2008, but has slipped this season. The Steelers have allowed more points (99) in the fourth quarter than all but two other teams, losing leads in the final quarter during five of their six losses. (NFL.com)
FF Today’s Take: The Steelers have 10 days off after Week 14's game vs. the Browns, so there is a chance Polamalu could be ready to play Dec. 20 against Green Bay. However, Polamalu hasn't been cleared to practice, much less play. While the absence of DE Aaron Smith has hurt, Pittsburgh's defense is noticably different minus Polamalu. In games he has finished, the Steelers are 4-0 and allowing 12.8 PPG. Without him, the team is 2-6 and permitting 22.5 PPG.
