Three Steelers suffer concussions on MNF
Steelers safety Will Allen and running backs Mewelde Moore and Isaac Redman suffered concussions during Monday night's game in Cincinnati and must pass post-concussion tests before being cleared to play.
The tests measure a player's cognitive skills before and after a concussion. A player is allowed to return only after his tests return to normal and he shows no signs of having had a concussion.
If either Moore or Redman can't play, rookie Jonathan Dwyer might be needed Sunday night against New England (6-2), which won the last two times it played in Pittsburgh.
The Steelers (6-2) had numerous injuries during their 27-21 victory in Cincinnati, with left guard Chris Kemoeatu's sprained right knee apparently the most serious. He could be limited in practice.
"We'll see if we can get him going, get him enough snaps in preparation to be available to us," coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday.
Kemoeatu's injury, plus those to center Maurkice Pouncey (bruised right leg) and left tackle Max Starks (neck, shoulder), forced the Steelers to shuffle their offensive line from series to series against the Bengals.
McNabb's moving on
Donovan McNabb says it's "hilarious" to think that he doesn't know the Washington Redskins' offensive play book. Or that he has trouble calling plays in the huddle.
"That is hilarious to me. That is really funny to me," McNabb said Tuesday during his weekly appearance on ESPN980. "For everyone who may not have heard any of this, it's probably a shock to them." Those words aside, the six-time Pro Bowl quarterback spent most of his radio time trying to downplay the fallout from his benching in the final minutes of a loss to the Detroit Lions. Not surprisingly, McNabb said he was tired of the whole thing. "It's over to me, and I just look to move on," he said. - AP
