I watched the whole game, and saw, or heard nothing indicating that Troy was injured in any way.

Watching FSN live right now. I'll post up with any updates they might say.

Nothing on FSN live yet on it. Nothing on the internet other than that Cowher said, "Troy might have a significant knee injury".

We'll have to wait till the media sites update tonight at midnight and then check tomorrow after the MRI.

Update on Troy, its not as bad as we feared.

BALTIMORE ---- Troy Polamalu will miss his first pro football game when the Steelers return home to play Tampa Bay Sunday.

He probably also will miss the Cleveland game Dec. 7 with a sprained medial collateral ligament. No surgery will be required.

Polamalu, a two-time Pro Bowl strong safety, left the game yesterday in the third quarter after getting tangled up in a pileup, when his left knee was injured.

Polamalu said after the game he is hopeful he will return to play this season.

"I'm definitely optimistic about it," Polamalu said.

This is absolutely awesome news that its only a sprain and that he'll be back before the season is out. Best of all, no surgery required !

Thank God !!!!!!!!!!!

That is great news! Finally something good!

Very relieved to hear that Troy is not as bad as I have been hearing...which was potentially career ending. Whenever he is able to play....an amazing talent and one that our team needs....

If he'd have really blown his ACL/MCL this late in the season it would have affected his availability for next year too. Im so glad he's gonna be alright.
