    Sources tell me "very likely" Ben Roethlisberger (shoulder) plays Sunday at Denver, but "not looking good" for Antonio Brown (concussion).

    I wonder if there was a setback today?

    No Brown, no chance, IMO. I hope I'm wrong.

    Yeah, Pac Man; he was faking it the whole time.:rolleyes: Moron...

    I don't know how he can report that 6 days before the game. He hasn't even got to the second phase of the protocol yet.

    I'd be a little surprised if he doesn't play. Who knows, though.

    They won't know til later in the week. Dudes eyes rolled back into his head before he hit the ground. Pretty hard to fake that. Hope he's good and hope Ben can go without hurting himself and the team.

    Seems a lil early to know wether or not AB play's or not IMO.. and i dont put a lot of stock in shcefters "sources".... cant rem who it was but some WR called him out today insiders, saying that he didnt believe schefter had any sources... lol, of course Schefter kinda made a joke abt it, and went on

    And we might be without DeAngelo again...heard he was in Charlotte seeing a foot specialist! Doesn't sound promising.

    I just read the report our buddy Real Steel alluded to on NFL.com about DWill and didn't say really anything more than we know already. Seeing a specialist could go or not this Sunday

    Steelers should be good to go with our current RBs. They look more than competent. Quick and shifty, blocked decent, and were effective in the passing game. Put up 167 on the ground against the bungholes. Losing AB is going to be a huge hurdle for us though, especially with the Bronco's secondary

    Don't they get tested everyday leading up to the game? He probably failed todays test.

    I think it's too early to speculate on AB.
    Any chance D Will is seeing a foot specialist for some sort of orthotic seeing as how they said it was possibly a mid-foot sprain.....wishful thinking I know.

    The way it looked to me I will be shocked if he plays. It just looked super nasty to me.

    It's only Monday and we already got conflicting reports.... Crazy. This morning he's fine, this evening it's all bad again. Bring on Sunday already.

    The booming was AB's brain bouncing off the inside of his skull.

    If he was indeed knocked out cold....That's a Grade 3 concussion. Most of my consultants for concussion clearance give that a one week minimum regardless of how they feel or test.

    That is not something you want to see in Hi Def. One of the scariest things I've seen on a football field in a long time. Pacman is delusional if he thinks AB faked that!

    I do feel a little better about Fitz and Todman though.

    My worry is he developed new symptoms today, those details leaked out, and that's what led to the report. All speculation regardless. Could be a smokescreen for all we know honestly.

    Might be true but hope not. Schefter was pretty fired up today regarding Pacman's assertion that Brown was faking his injury. So either Schefter does have real inside info regarding brown or maybe he is just trying to discredit Pacman's ridiculous claims while the Steelers play it close to the vest.

    Schefter isn't the one reporting it though. Bob Holtzman said it an hour or so ago now.
