On Tuesday, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin declared that tight end Heath Miller had no symptoms, nine days after suffering a concussion against the Ravens.
On Thursday, the symptoms returned.
According to Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Miller suffered a setback on Thursday, and he missed practice. His status for Sunday’s game against the Jets is in doubt.
Miller practiced on Wednesday for the first time since the December 5 game, but he thereafter developed a “mild headache.”
“He experienced a little headache,” offensive coordinator Bruce Arians said. “Very cautious. We’re not going to take any chances with him.”
It’s unclear whether Miller must again be cleared by an independent neurologist to practice and/or play. Hopefully, the Steelers will seek such clearance, regardless of whether it’s required.
