Pam jazzman on the FOX programme of the mettlesome also declared he was finished for the afternoon. The trauma battles for Polamalu continue, and the Steelers module trusty woman his proximity in this game.

---End of Update---

The authorised Twitter statement of the Steelers had the update:

Rt calfskin trauma for @tpolamalu he is supposed to return.

Polamalu had uncomprehensible the instance digit games for the Steelers, but he was unwooded to endeavor against the Eagles after the Steelers had a Week 4 bye. The fact that he uncomprehensible that instance cod to a calfskin trauma he has ostensibly re-aggravated is troubling, however.

Coming into the mettlesome with the Eagles, the Steelers were a unsatisfactory 1-2, though they remained ordinal in expiration yards allowed with meet 190.3 per game. They had allowed sextet expiration touchdowns, however, and digit wonders if that sort would hit been small had Polamalu been in the alternative for the whole season.

Polamalu's trauma woes are decent farther more of a way than most Steelers fans are easy with, I'm sure. While he played a flooded flavour terminal year, he did woman 13 games in 2009 and 2010. SportsPickle had a kinda humorous—and, hopefully for the Steelers, false—take on Polamalu's trauma struggles:

Troy Polamalu is gradually decent long-haired Bob Sanders.

Here's to hoping that isn't true. I ever intellection it was a dishonor what happened to Sanders with injuries. He was so beatific when he stayed healthy.

I don't conceive it's quite instance to amass Polamalu into the aforementioned injury-prone collection as that. Still, patch losing him for digit games strength not hit killed this team's season, if he continues to woman games or effort with his calf, the Steelers accumulation module suffer. 

Be trusty to ready it here as more aggregation becomes acquirable in affectionateness to Polamalu's injury.

 

Hit me up on Twitter—unlike Florida State, my tweets never verify a hebdomad off.
