The Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu missed another practice Wednesday because of his injured left knee ligament and he himself doesn’t expect to play this Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Polamalu is “encouraged” by an MRI test he had on Tuesday, but he doesn’t anticipate practicing this week. Asked if he needs a week of practice before playing again, he said, “I would think so.”
The five-time Pro Bowl safety has missed nine full games and most of two others with separate ligament injuries in his left knee. He hasn’t played since the opening series against the Cincinnati Bengals on Nov. 15, though he has been working out in anticipation of a return. But he said he hoped to play Jan. 3 in the regular season-ending game in Miami.
Without the safety wearing No.43 Troy Polamalu jersey, the Steelers defense has lost leads in the fourth quarter six times, and recovered to win only one of the six games. Polamalu leads the Steelers with three interceptions despite playing only three full games all season.
