Ben Reothlisberger still in concussion protocol

Dec 01, 2015

Immediately after taking the NFL concussion protocol-mandated ImPACT cognitive test Tuesday morning, Ben Roethlisberger believed he “aced” it.

Turns out, the results led to a diagnosis of a concussion for the Steelers' star quarterback.

Roethlisberger will remain in the NFL's concussion protocol this week after self-reporting symptoms and removing himself from Sunday's loss at Seattle before the final offensive drive.

Fantasy Impact:

On his weekly radio show Roethlisberger said he's been told he does not have a “brain injury” — that he's been diagnosed as suffering from “a traumatic ocular migraine.” About an hour later, Tomlin said during his weekly press conference that Roethlisberger “experienced what is described as a concussion.”

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
