Just when Pittsburgh thought Troy Polamalu was getting back to full health, the Steelers may have lost their superstar safety again. Polamalu limped to the locker room during Sunday's game between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, and immediate reports were that he had reinjured his left knee. He did not return to the game, which Cincinnati won 18-12.Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said after the game that Polamalu would undergo an MRI.
Polamalu missed four games earlier this season -- including a Week 2 Steelers' loss to Cincinnati -- after spraining his left MCL in Pittsburgh's Week 1 win over Tennessee.
He returned in Week 6 against Cleveland -- he intercepted a pass in that game, then nabbed another one last Monday night against Denver.
Pittsburgh was 4-0 with Polamalu in the lineup this season and 2-2 without him, prior to Sunday's loss.
Tyrone Carter jumped into Polamalu's spot in the secondary after the injury. Carter had two interceptions, one which he returned for a touchdown, as a replacement for Ryan Clark during the Steelers past the Broncos in Week 9.

The Steelers are not out of it yet and even if they were,a bad seasons happen to all teams just look at the Bengals overall history. At the end of the season no matter who takes it all the way you can only come up with one team that fits the description of - The Best Team in the History of the Superbowl. 7 times there, 6 time Champions - nobody else is even close and you can bet that they will get another before anyone does get close.

the season is not over with yet, the games remaining are good games and the steelers will be strong. we steeler fans are confident and know our team is poised and determined down the long stretch. the defense will step up if troy is out for any length of time. steelers AND their fans possess that class and knowledge. bottom line simple. 6 super bowls speak for themselves. ! ! !
