PITTSBURGH (AP)—Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Heath Miller(notes) is doubtful for Sunday’s AFC North game against Cincinnati because of the concussion he sustained from a helmet hit by Ravens linebacker Jameel McClain(notes).
McClain was not penalized, but was fined $40,000 by the NFL on Monday for an illegal hit to the head of a defenseless receiver.
Tight end Matt Spaeth(notes) (concussion) has been cleared by doctors to return to practice Wednesday. While Spaeth is returning, right tackle Flozell Adams(notes) (high ankle sprain) is unlikely to play against Cincinnati (2-10).
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger(notes), who had surgery Monday to repair a broken nose, will wear a face shield during practice for the Steelers (9-3).
Defensive end Aaron Smith(notes) (torn triceps tendon) has resumed lifting weights but won’t be evaluated again for two weeks. He was hurt Oct. 24.
