The Pittsburgh Steelers will be without injured safety Troy Polamalu and linebacker Ryan Shazier for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets.

Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Polamalu sprained his right knee in the second quarter of the Steelers’ 43-23 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night when he got caught underneath Ravens running back Justin Forsett on a tackle by Steelers teammate Stephon Tuitt.

Polamalu returned to the game briefly after suffering the injury and then left for the locker room. Will Allen willl replace the 33-year-old Polamalu, who has 51 tackles this season.

Shazier, a rookie from Ohio State, has a sprained right ankle. He missed four earlier games with a sprained right knee. Sean Spence will replace Shazier on defense.
