Steelers to face Chiefs without D starters Polamalu, Kirschke

PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu did not practice all week because of a left knee injury and will not play Sunday in Kansas City. He may miss the Nov. 29 game at Baltimore as well.

Polamalu sat out the Steelers' second through fifth games with a ligament tear, only to injure the same knee during an 18-12 loss to Cincinnati on Sunday.

 Sunday: Steelers at Chiefs, 1 p.m. ET (CBS)

Polamalu's latest injury is to a different ligament. He wore a heavy brace as he watched practice this week.

Defensive end Travis Kirschke will sit out his third consecutive game with a torn left calf muscle. He had been filling in for Aaron Smith, who is out for the season with a torn right rotator cuff.

Nick Eason will start again at left defensive end. Tyrone Carter will start at safety.

There goes Beng@y Turdbergler's meal ticket!  Without Troy Polamalu, the Steelers are a .500 team at best.

I hope he never plays again and if he does, the next time he suits up he breaks his knee, couldnt happen to a nicer fellow. I hate the Steelers and I hope nothing but bad luck for them, its going to be nice to not see them in the playoffs this year.
Go Bengals!

"Madden Curse" taking shape? As consistent as it has been, you'd think dudes would avoid that endorsement deal. I'm just waiting for Fitzgerald's tibia to snap. If he goes down, the curse is arguably batting a thousand.

Players should stick to the old fashioned holdovers: Wheaties, bubble-gum and good ole' local car dealerships. It's just not worth your career man!
