Pittsburgh Steelers star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and is "fine" after taking a hit and staying on the ground for several minutes in Tuesday's practice, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Roethlisberger was forced to leave the seven-on-seven session early with team trainers following a collision on a rollout with offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert, according to NFL.com's Kevin Patra.
The 36-year-old traveled to Green Bay with the rest of his teammates for Thursday's second preseason game against the Packers.
However, Roethlisberger won't suit up for the contest, and it's unclear if he'll play the usual extended snaps in the third preseason game after this latest injury scare.
