For those who care the Pittsburgh Steelers and the team’s star safety Troy Polamalu, they may have to continue worrying about the player’s injury on left knee, as he has not been ready to practice yet.
Wearing a heavy brace, Polamalu just watched his teammates practicing Wednesday and did not take part in any drills on his own. 30 minutes before the practice ended, he limped off the field without answering any question. It seemed that he will very likely not be able to wear back his Steelers jersey and play this Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Injuring the knee ligament while tackling the Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson last Sunday, Polamalu would miss more games just a few weeks after he returned from last injury, which he got during the Steelers season opener and caused him to miss four games.

Steelers safety Polamalu not likely to play Sunday
After being limited in practices on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu seemingly will not play against the Lions in Detroit on Sunday.
Since the five-time Pro Bowl player tore the medial collateral ligament in his left knee on Sept. 10 while playing against the Tennessee Titans, he has not played any game by so far during the season. He has neither taken part in full practice since he returned to field on Wednesday. And usually a Steelers player returning from an injury must go through at least one full practice before playing a real game, so it was very unlikely Polamalu could play this Sunday in Detroit. But since he has been able to take limited part in practice, we may see the No. 43 Steelers jersey again in the game against the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 18.
Another injured Steelers player, running back Willie Parker, was held out for the practices on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and has been ruled out for this Sunday’s game. Replacement Rashard Mendenhall, who ran 165 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday’s 38-28 victory over the San Diego Chargers, may start again this Sunday against the Lions.
