Casey Hampton, Troy Polamalu, and Chris Kemoeautu are all starting camp on the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list and will not be particpating in the 2 practices scheduled for Monday.
Although Polamalu and Kemoeautu have been placed on the list because they currently have minor injuries, Hampton is on the list because he was unable to complete the conditioning run test held yesterday afternoon. "He wasn't able to finish the test," Tomlin said. "He's overweight and he's not conditioned enough to participate at this point," and Tomlin did not appear very happy about it. Hampton will not be taken off the PUP list until he gets in better shape.
Polamalu has a mild hamstring pull while Kemoeautu is nursing weakness in one of his triceps. TIOPS reported that "sources" say Polamalu is "day-to-day" and should be able to practice Tuesday or Wednesday.
Ron Cook gives his view on the Casey Hampton situation with his article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, "Tomlin gives Big Snack a big smack on Day 1" I must admit, it is amusing (but I can't be one to talk; HOWEVER, I'm not a professional athlete either)!
