Steelers QB Ben 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 Cleveland Browns.
Roethlisberger suffered more than what was diagnosed as a concussion, he actually sustained a spinal cord concussion after he was sandwiched on a hit by two Browns defenders and appeared to hit the back of his head on the Heinz Field surface — the same type of injury that caused former Steelers quarterback Tommy Maddox to temporarily lose movement in his arms and legs in a 2002 game in Tennessee.
