Associated Press

PITTSBURGH -- Ben Roethlisberger is dealing with a swollen head, an issue that has troubled many NFL quarterbacks. Only this time, it's not the result of too many commercial endorsements, a big contract or too much fan praise.

When the Steelers quarterback resumed practicing this week, he realized his helmet didn't fit right. He sustained a concussion Dec. 28 against Cleveland, and spent last week getting over headaches associated with the hit.

"I had a little headache after putting the helmet on because it was so tight," Roethlisberger said Wednesday. "But we'll deal with it and move on."

After receiving a concussion during the 2006 season, Roethlisberger declined to switch to a newer style of helmet designed to better protect against concussions. He apparently has not switched helmets this time, either, preferring to stay with the model he has traditionally worn.

Roethlisberger has had three concussions in three years, one in the June 2006 motorcycle accident in which he was seriously injured while not wearing a helmet. He has not been spotted riding a motorcycle in public since.

Roethlisberger sat out the second half of the Cleveland game, but will return Sunday for the Steelers' AFC divisional game against San Diego.

they should do an mri there is probably some swelling and should not be playing it can be life and death.

What happened to those 4 picks and all those sacks and turnovers that Ben was suppose to have in today's game as a result of the concussion the Browns gave Ben?? Oh thats right none of it happened because much like your football team fails to win time and time again, they failed to do the job on Ben and finish him off like everybody on here said he was after that play occured.

The helmet may not fit, bit his hands aren't too swollen. That 2nd ring in 4 years will fit nicely!

How many SB rings do the Browns have again???

By the way, Ben is directing his team to another AFC championship appearance today. I don't think they give a 5 point touchdown because Ben had to switch helpmets, did they?

But hey, I guess Quinn can actually put his helmet on comfortably today as he watches the Steelers actually PLAYING football.

Does this thread have even have a point?? The Steelers as a football team are as healthy as they have been all year long especially compared to the Chargers. And for the Chargers to come in here banged up and not 100 percent into bad weather and playing on the East Coast where they have been an horrific road team for most of this season does not boad well for them...

An MRI is not going to do shit for the Chargers. They're already dead.

Although not a 100% sure, I think that's Jim Carrey as Clifton, you really should use the original.

Nah, this one's Andy.

That's because the collective knowledge of football in the town of pittsburgh is only rivaled by the town of Chimara in Nigeria.

But your right, there is no rivalry whatsoever, that's why you've spent the better part of a year posting on our message board, beause, ya know, there is no rivalry and we are of no significance whatsoever.

Do you realize how incredibly stupid you sound with every post?

I can't help but laugh and start to think that you are our Tony Clifton. That will probably sail over your head, which is of no surprise.

Tony Clifton?

Fantastic, my new sig pic.
