PITTSBURGH -- Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is in the concussion protocol after sustaining a hit early in Tuesday's practice.
Coach Mike Tomlin said in a statement that team doctors are evaluating the six-time Pro Bowler.
Teammates huddled in concern as Roethlisberger fell to the turf at Latrobe Memorial Stadium. Right tackle Marcus Gilbert said Roethlisberger was rolling to the right side on a goal-line play and ran into Gilbert and linebacker Keion Adams.

Steelers' Roethlisberger in concussion protocol
Prior to Roethlisberger's early exit from practice, Tomlin had ruled him out for Thursday's preseason game, along with fellow veteran Landry Jones. Rookie third-round pick Mason Rudolph and Josh Dobbs, Pittsburgh's fourth-round selection in 2017, will see all of the playing time when the Steelers visit the Green Bay Packers.
The fact that the Steelers are sitting Jones is a really bad sign for anyone hoping that Dobbs would beat him out for the final roster spot.
How on earth is that a bad sign? All it shows is they know what Landry Jones is. TRASH. They want to see if Dobbs and Rudolph are better.
You make it sound like Landry Jones is some sure thing. Even Pro Bowl QBs have been replaced by young guys who go out on the field and performance. Anytime you don't play as an athlete its a risk because the guy behind you can come in, ball out, and take the job from you.
The only way things can be bad for Dobbs is if he doesn't play well. Whether or not Landry Jones sits is irrelevant.
