Polamalu has not been ready to practice

For those who care the Pittsburgh Steelers and the team’s star safety Troy Polamalu, they may have to continue worrying about the player’s injury on left knee, as he has not been ready to practice yet.




Wearing a heavy brace, Polamalu just watched his teammates practicing Wednesday and did not take part in any drills on his own. 30 minutes before the practice ended, he limped off the field without answering any question. It seemed that he will very likely not be able to wear back his Steelers jersey and play this Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Injuring the knee ligament while tackling the Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson last Sunday, Polamalu would miss more games just a few weeks after he returned from last injury, which he got during the Steelers season opener and caused him to miss four games.

Dolphins RB Cobbs to be out for season with knee injury

“A tremendous, tremendous warrior,” the Miami Dolphins Coach Sparano said Tuesday about running back Patrick Cobbs’ injury. “But that’s how this game goes.” Indeed, injuries are inevitable for those who play in football jerseys, what the coach can do is only to express his regret.

The reserve running back has been considered to be an important contributor to the team’s wildcat package. He was hurt on a carry in the fourth quarter of Monday night’s victory over the New York Jets, and tests results showed that he has torn an anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Thus Cobbs will have to miss the rest of the season to recover from the injury.

As a mainstay in the wildcat, which uses three running backs, Cobbs had a 53-yard touchdown catch and a 44-yard run from the formation last year and led the Dolphins with 16 kickoff returns for a 22.6-yard average this season. His leaving will force the team to find another runningback to take over his position, and rookie Lex Hilliard may be the choice.
