Ben Roethlisberger: ‘It’ll Be Tough’ Moving On From Ladarius Green

I find it a bit sad in a way to see that so many seem minimally concerned by the absence of Ladarius Green, the talented tight end that the Pittsburgh Steelers signed to a four-year, $20 million contract last offseason, and which they excised themselves from the majority of last week after they released him with a failed physical designation.

It is sad because, of course, it speaks to the lack of empathy with what he might be going through on a physical level. Green has had four documented concussions in his playing career, the fourth of which knocked him out for the final five games of the 2016 season, and it appears that he is still suffering some sort of issues from it.
