Steelers Notebook: No caution planned for Big Ben

No concessions. That's the point coach Mike Tomlin drilled home tersely at his news conference yesterday when asked if he would be more cautious with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger Sunday.
In a word, "No," Tomlin answered.
Asked the same thing later in his conference, Tomlin added two more words to his answer: "No, I'm not."
Roethlisberger practiced for the first time Monday since he was carted off Heinz Field on a stretcher just before the half of the Steelers' 31-0 victory against Cleveland Dec. 28. He was diagnosed with a low-grade concussion and said he's fine.
Yesterday, Tomlin made it evident that the topic is now closed.
"Ben is going to be fine," he said.
So, too, are they all.
Tomlin listed no one as injured yesterday, saying "We've got a clean bill of health. It's the first time in a long time."
Safety Ryan Clark (dislocated shoulder) and linebacker James Harrison (hip pointer) were held out of the season finale, but practiced Monday, as did everyone else, including slightly injured fullback Cary Davis and linebacker James Farrior.
"Those are the guys that had circumstances that the off week, the bye, worked in our favor," Tomlin said.
