He is days removed from his fourth concussion in four years, an uncommonly high number even for an NFL player.Regardless, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback is going through “a normal week” of preparation for a pivotal game at Baltimore on Sunday night and has every intention of playing.

The quarterback can help lead the Panthers to their third straight win over the Mountaineers tonight, something that hasn’t happened since Pitt won seven straight from 1976-82.

No doubt the Steelers didn’t expect to be, either.The first of two Steelers-Ravens games during the final six weeks of the NFL season won’t be for first place in the AFC North, but it could serve as a last chance for one of last season’s conference finalists.

The tests measure a player’s memory and reflexes, among other factors, before and after he has been injured.

The quarterback is dealing with another concussion, his fourth since 2006. The defense isn’t the same with two of its best players injured and out. Every kickoff is creating anxiety. Every game is becoming an adventure.

First it was Eli Manning, who injured his heel in the New York Giants’ 27-16 victory Oct. 4. Now it’s Ben Roethlisberger.

It blew my mind. Now, everything has come full circle.”The two Johnstown natives will be on the same field today during one of the Canadian Football League’s biggest games of the season.Hawkins is on the Montreal Alouettes roster as a rookie wide receiver. The former University of Toledo standout has worked hard to earn playing time and in recent weeks has proved he can be a productive part of Montreal’s offense.
