Ladarius Green

Steelers' Ladarius Green downgraded to out Thursday with concussion, flu

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Ladarius Green was listed as out at Thursday's practice due to both concussion and illness.

What It Means:

Green was able to practice on a limited based on Wednesday, so this is pretty brutal news. It looks like he will once again sit out while Jesse James earns another start in Green's place.

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