Polamalu has not been ready to practice

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.

Packers OT Clifton did not play Sunday against Browns

The Green Bay Packers starting left tackle Chad Clifton must regret for not being able to play Sunday’s 31-3 victory over the Cleveland Browns. But what could he do? He was just listed as inactive with a damn injured ankle.

Clifton had already missed two games earlier this season because of the injury. And for Sunday’s game, he was replaced by rookie T.J. Lang, who tried to protect quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who had been sacked an NFL-high 25 times this season before Sunday, and did not do a bad job.

Players missing game on Sunday also included tight ends Steve Heiden and Robert Royal. Heiden injured his knee and Royal had injuries both on hamstring and finger. It was Greg Estandia who replaced Royal and started on Sunday.
