Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is doing fine and is expected to resume football activities soon, according to a source.

The team placed Roethlisberger in the concussion protocol after the Pro Bowl quarterback took a fall during Tuesday's practice. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports Roethlisberger is out of the concussion protocol.

Roethlisberger traveled with the team to Green Bay for its second preseason game, for which he was ruled out before getting hurt.

Teammates said Roethlisberger's head whipped back onto the turf after getting tangled with linemen on a rollout to his right, but after the play he assured center Maurkice Pouncey that he was good.
