Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu, who is battling an Achilles tendon strain and an ankle injury, has been declared out for Thursday night's game against the Carolina Panthers.
Polamalu hasn't practiced all week after missing Sunday's game against the New York Jets.
Polamalu leads the Steelers with six interceptions, one of which he has returned for a touchdown. He also has a sack and a fumble recovery to go with 62 tackles.
A source told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora last week that the team isn't considering putting the five-time Pro Bowl selection on season-ending injured reserve and expects to have him back for the playoffs.
