Ladarius Green

Ladarius Green expected to sit again for Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Ladarius Green (concussion) isn't expected to play on Sunday against the New England Patriots, according to Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

What It Means:

Bouchette is as reliable as they come, so it's safe to assume Green will remain sidelined for the AFC title game. He added that the tight end -- who has been out since Week 15 -- likely won't play again this season. Jesse James will draw another start for Pittsburgh.

Without accounting for Green's absence, our models project James to catch 3 passes for 27 yards and 0.14 touchdowns versus New England.
