Pro Bowl safety Troy Polamalu practiced today for the first time in more than two weeks and is expected to play in the AFC wild-card playoff game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Polamalu, who missed four of the final six regular-season games with a sprained knee, is listed as questionable on the team's official injury report. Return specialist Allen Rossum (hamstring) is also listed as questionable.
"He looked good enough today to be a game-time decision," Coach Mike Tomlin said of Polamalu. "I know he feels well, but we'll see. If he does play, there will be no excuses. The standard of expectation won't change. If he's going, he's going."
