Not really sure what is true. I was just on ESPN site and it said the Tomlin has them down as questionable. A little 'mind' game going on ?
Here text:
PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu and linebacker James Harrison did not practice on Friday and are questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Jets.
Neither Polamalu, who is nursing a strained right calf, nor Harrison, who is recovering from a minor procedure on his left knee, practiced this week. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin typically does not let players who did not participate during the week play in the ensuing game.
Harrison, who hasn't suited up for a game since a playoff loss to Denver last January, said he "felt great" but allowed there's a risk in coming back too quickly. The knee has been bothering Harrison since minicamp, and he underwent arthroscopic surgery on Aug. 15.
"What it comes down to is that there's no need to hurry up and rush yourself back and end up doing more damage so you have to deal with the injury for the rest of the season, instead of saying that you'll sit out a few weeks and get it back healthy rather than to go play a game, reinjure it," Harrison said.
Polamalu declined to speculate on his status but added that although he could "do mental repetitions on the sideline" while watching the defense, it "would be better to be on the field."
