-QB Ben Roethlisberger self-reported concussion symptoms late in the fourth quarter and did not return.

Roethlisberger missed four games this season with a sprained MCL and bone bruise.
The Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5) are coming from a 39-30 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
“This is the time when teams make their push for the playoffs”, Heyward said. He was later diagnosed with a concussion after telling team doctors his peripheral vision wasn’t normal.
A team doesn’t get better when it loses one of its best players, and there’s no doubt Graham is among the most talented playmakers not just on Seattle’s roster but in the league.
That’s what’s impressive about this story. Sometimes coverage dictates when to launch, but the Seahawks tried to take the sideline away and Roethlisberger still tested them over and over. They’ve only allowed four rushing touchdowns on the year, but given the strength of the Steelers’ offense, Williams is always going to be a decent bet to find the end-zone.
“He puts good air on it, too”, Wheaton said. “We can’t just be the champs of stats”. Football begets concussions, concussions begets dementia and other mental health problems later in life. A player to watch is the NFL’s second-leading receiver, Antonio Brown (1,192 yards, 5 TDs). That’s why so many NFL veterans have sued the league for withholding information.
While no one likes to see a star player hurt, the Colts odds of winning would increase dramatically without Roethlisberger at the helm and Jones in as his replacement.
Regardless, the three-time Pro Bowler has been removed from the concussion protocol after completing 36 of 55 attempts for 456 yards – the most ever against Seattle.
And based on his comments this week, he’s giving that reality a lot of thought. “I’ve played through a lot of injuries”. But, as he said during his interview, brain injuries aren’t something you want to take lightly.
“We have some other guys who are capable”.
“When you’re done you want to be a husband or father, and if I have these brain injuries it’s not worth it”.
“I love him on our team”, Carroll said. They said, ‘Ben it’s fine.’ You’re ready to practice. “It may seem like it, but we didn’t really change when Jimmy got here, in essence”.
Roethlisberger passed a concussion test Wednesday morning and went through a full practice in the afternoon.
To make room for Coffman on the roster, the Seahawks released center Drew Nowak, who won the starting position out of training camp and started the season’s first five games (seven total) before being replaced in the lineup by Patrick Lewis. When people ask him how much longer he wants to play, he tells them that he doesn’t want to think about the end of his career, “because I am cheating the right here and now”.
The downright puzzlement of the Ben Roethlisberger might (or might not) have a concussion situation.
