Gerry: Polamalu injury update

[stillers4me]

As you know, the Steelers never revealed the exact nature of Troy Polamalu’s late-season injury, referring to it simply as a foot injury (I believe was the terminology). Anyway, I have since informed you that his injury was a slight tear of his Achilles tendon, suffered returning that interception for touchdown in a Dec. 12 game against the Bengals.
His rehab appears to be going well.

Polamalu is receiving treatment and doing rehabilitation in Los Angeles under the care of an orthopedic surgeon who is friendly with the Steelers medical staff. He does not need surgery, which is the good news.............

Good news and I am assuming he can fully heal from this.

I wonder how risky it was for him to play with a torn achilles...it certainly affected his level of play...

Bring on the rematch! Polamalu has a score to settle.
