Troy Polamalu rarely attends the Steelers offseason voluntary practices and, as the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review points out, it’s generally the most overblown story of the offseason.
Troy Polamalu Makes An Appearance At The Final Week Of Steelers OTAs
Polamalu has never made any secret that he doesn’t have much use for off-season practices, most of which are voluntary. His absence from them — he attended mini camp, which is mandatory — is annually one of the most overblown stories of the spring.
Polamalu prefers to work out on his own but he returned this week to Pittsburgh for a week of practices.
It’s actually great timing in his return.
On Tuesday, the Steelers players went bowling. On Wednesday, they’ll have just a walk-through. On Thursday, they’ll be in a lighter mood since it’s the last offseason practice and Mike Tomlin generally allows them to wear funny hats on the field.
Polamalu is recovering from a knee injury that sidelined him much of the 2009 season.
