TSN: Pittsburgh QB Ben Roethlisberger was at the team's practice
on Tuesday, but did not participate in any drills. Roethlisberger
left last Sunday's 31-0 win over Cleveland on a stretcher after
suffering a concussion in the 2nd quarter. Since Pittsburgh has
the week off thanks to the No. 2 seed in the AFC, HC Tomlin might
keep him out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday, also. "He's
doing better," said Tomlin. "He's starting the process of taking
the battery of tests that come after one sustains a concussion. I
don't know where we are in terms of the results of those tests. We
have less urgency this time around, because we don't have a game
this week, quite honestly. We held him out today, like we did with
James Farrior and a lot of veteran players. We're going to proceed
slowly with him because we have that luxury, but we're comfortable
with where he is relative to being ready for our next game."
