Steelers say Roethlisberger to stay in protocol

PITTSBURGH -- Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on Tuesday said he has successfully cleared the league's concussion protocol, but Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin later said that isn't true.

Roethlisberger, making his weekly appearance on 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh, said he suffered a traumatic ocular migraine late in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. He went on to say he believes he's concussion-free and expects to play Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.
