Lost amid the Ben Roethlisberger retirement talk, the questions on Antonio Brown and the doomed game plan against the Patriots was one quote from Mike Tomlin’s season-ending news conference.
It was Tomlin’s response when was asked if he has long term concerns about tight end Ladarius Green.
“I don’t have an assessment, long term, of where he is,” Tomlin said. “I think that’s one of the chief medical decisions and questions that we have to have moving forward, in terms of guys getting an assessment of their overall health and what it means for 2017.”
It was the first time anyone from the Steelers stated publicly that there might be a decision the team had to make regarding Green’s status for the 2017 season.
