Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports Safety Troy Polamalu hopes to return to play "at least" for the Steelers' final game Jan 3 in Miami.
Polamalu has missed the past four games with a sprained PCL in his left knee. The Nov. 15 injury turned out to be worse than the original prognosis of "day to day," Polamalu said today.
