Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu
has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New York Giants.
Polamalu hasn't played since aggravating a right calf injury versus the
Philadelphia Eagles on Oct. 7. The injury initially occurred in the season
opener and he missed two games before making a brief return earlier this
month.
Offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert (ankle) will also sit out his third straight
game.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that running back Rashard Mendenhall
will be cleared to start individual work on Wednesday. Mendenhall has missed
the past two games with an Achilles injury.
Fellow running back Isaac Redman (ankle) is scheduled to practice on Wednesday
after being held out of the last two contests.
