Alan Robinson of the Associated Press reports that Polamalu, currently listed as probable, will wear a knee brace as a precaution that may limit his mobility provided he plays:
Steelers S Polamalu Likely to Return With Heavy Knee Brace
The Steelers don’t believe Polamalu is coming back too soon; they initially thought he would be out 3 to 6 weeks, and he’s returning after four. Polamalu is wearing a brace that may slow him slightly but greatly protects the knee.
“I think another month (of rest) would make a huge difference,” Polamalu said. “The season is short. The season is long when you’re healthy, but short when you’re injured because you don’t have as much rest time.”
During his absence, the Steelers defense has been shaky and the team posted a 2-2 record.
