The Facts:
Roethlisberger used the word "scary" when he saw several of the Steelers team doctors hovering over him on the field and he couldn't feel them sticking a pin in his numb arms two weeks ago against the Browns. And for good reason. Roethlisberger suffered more than what was diagnosed as a concussion.
Reported by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Post-Gazette is reporting that Roethlisberger actually sustained a spinal cord concussion -- the same type of injury that caused former QB Tommy Maddox to temporarily lose movement in his arms and legs in a 2002 game in Tennessee. ... Roethlisberger never lost movement and passed all the necessary follow-up tests before playing one of his most efficient games of the season in beating the Chargers.
