I recently tested positive for the Covid-19. Thank God I feel great and family are well. I'm working with the HOF to ensure we abide by all protocols to make it to Canton in time for all the festivities…
"We are disappointed for Troy right now and pray for his quick recovery with no complications," David Baker, President & CEO of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, said Friday. "We'll work with him to make sure he's honored as an enshrinee the way he should be – and that's mindful of others in the Centennial Class, fans and everyone else in attendance. He had an incredible football career and will have an equally incredible career as a Hall of Famer."
Polamalu played 12 seasons with the Steelers and elected in his first year of eligibility.
