Steelers: : When Ben Roethlisberger went down two weeks ago after being struck by two Browns defenders, the quarterback suffered more than a concussion. He suffered a spinal-cord concussion that caused his arms to go numb, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported yesterday.

It's the same injury that ended Ravens safety Dawan Landry's season when his helmet struck the knee of Browns running back Jamal Lewis in September.

Roethlisberger quickly regained feeling in his arms after being carted off the field Dec. 28, and he went on to throw for 181 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's playoff win against the Chargers.
