Who else is still worried about Ben's injury?

Agreed - Ben is sometimes too tough for his own good. He said he was "fine" almost immediately after the surgery following the accident and immediately following the emergency appendectomy. I hope he takes it a bit easier this week as a precaution.

hopefully after they run some test on him and see how bad the injury is or isnt tomlin will decide on whether to practice him or not ...

I am def. worried cuz im going to the Browns game next week and i want a helthy Ben to destroy them!

[HometownGal]

I'm just listening now to clips of Coach Tomlin from his press conference today and he said that Ben simply has a "hip contusion (bruise)". He said he is fine and probably won't practice tomorrow, but he fully expects him to play on Sunday against the Clowns.

Suggs didn't get a penalty, but he should have. It was definitely a cheap shot, and a late hit. I understand the emotion of the Ravens-Steelers rivalry, but all the talking, pushing and fighting was too much after a while.

That is the sort of chippiness both sides display for this rivalry. Will be interested to see if it changes when Billick & Lewis & Hines are gone from the scene.

Yeah in Britain the announcer on Channel 5 agreed, I can't recall his name for the life of me, but he's the best guy we have, honestely the people on Sky are awful... But anyway, after seeing a few replays he said much they same thing, at first it looks rather beniegn, but in fact Suggs takes a full two and a half steps after Ben releases the ball and then pushes him to the ground, the technical defiinition of a late him by NFL rules, but at the time, at full speed, it didn't look so bad so he was fine with the ref not calling it, an opinion I sorta agree on, though I had flashes of a second half of the season struggle flashing through my mind till I saw Ben up and throwing on the sideline!

To tell you the truth, I was really scared and worried about Ben's injury last night at the game, right after it happened. I was looking in my dad's binoculars the entire time Ben was laying on the field. I thougt it was worse than it actually was. I'm not worried anymore because all Tomlin and Ben said was that it was a bruise and he'll be taking it easy tomorrow, so he'll be back for Cleveland.
