Pittsburgh Steelers SS Troy Polamalu said that he has lied about symptoms of concussions so that he'd be cleared to stay on the field. 'Yes, I have, for sure,' Polamalu said. However, Polamalu sees a distinction between just saying he doesn't feel dazed after a hit to the head when maybe he actually does, and blatantly lying about a significant injury. 'I wouldn't say I've had any major lies,' Polamalu said. 'Somebody may say, 'Is your knee messed up?' It may be kind of messed up but you just kind of push yourself to be out there with your brothers. I wouldn't say there are any major lies where I totally lied my way out of concussions. In fact, during concussions, if it's serious enough you can't even be conscious enough to lie.'
