Troy Polamalu has not practiced this week. He will do so today and start at free safety Sunday against the San Diego Chargers. Had the Steelers taken that approach the first time he injured his calf, he might have avoided re-injuring it and missing seven more games.
"I think it was a better game plan going into the last game than it was going into the Philadelphia game where I injured myself," Polamalu said.
He referred to the way he practiced and played upon his return in the fourth game of the season. He played in the opener and then missed the next two games with a calf injury. In the week before their Oct. 7 game against Philadelphia, Polamalu went all-out through full practices on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. He left the game against the Eagles early with what he now says was a different muscle injury than the first.
