PITTSBURGH -- On Thursday evening, it was revealed that Steelers safety Troy Polamalu missed part of practice because of a sore ankle.

According to sources, he is still listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Channel 4 Action Sports reporter Jon Burton said that Coach Bill Cowher said Polamalu "tweaked" his ankle.

Sources tell Burton that the Steelers safety was not limping and appears to be fine.

Stay tuned to Channel 4 Action News for more details as they become available.

Very interesting. Let's hope he doesn't miss any time ... takes away from the excitement of the game.By the way, Steel ... how many Super Bowls did Broadway Joe win? And how many did Greg Lloyd win?

I'm sure his hair will still be as ugly as ever. We can all relax.

I wonder what caused it. Maybe the Bus rolled over him.

I know you weren't serious, but my first thought was that this sounds more like misinformation.

Big Ben still gets him if he cut outside . . . now, had his wife not cut him at all, that might be something. I liked how Plummer said he was fine after the game and that his cold wasnt a problem

And no true Steelers fan will take any consolation if the Steelers lose due to ANY injury, fluke play or unlucky bounce.

conspiracy theory:

Polamalu ankle = Cowher smoke screen.

Hasselbeck goes to test it early, SURPRISE! my ankle's fine. 6 the other way.

Polamalu was a noticable non-factor today. He wasn't nearly as animated as he usually is.

I'm still in the dark as to why Carson's knee injury is not a legitamate excuse as to why the Steelers were even blessed with a chance to win today. He is the focal point of our whole team.
