Steelers' Roethlisberger and another concussion


            

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in the post-season hunt and QB Ben Roethlisberger suffered another major concussion.  **Newsflash** He's playing on Sunday.  This scenario has become far too familiar in the NFL. 

Big player.  Big injury.  Big game...guess what?

Big Ben has experienced 3 major concussions (that we know of) over the last 3 years and possibly others that went undiagnosed or unreported.  Couple this with the violent motorcycle accident that he had a few years back and a potentially concerning picture may be forming.

How many concussions are too many?  Will he have serious long-term health problems like depression or dementia because of these football related injuries?  No one knows.

But what we do know is, come 'hell or high water' Big Ben will be on that field on Sunday.
