One Steelers player who had been announced as having a concussion Sunday said the next day he did not have one.
Another who had been held out of practice for previously unknown reasons acknowledged Monday he was in concussion protocol.
"I didn't have a concussion yesterday," nose tackle Javon Hargrave said. "They just got me in the protocol."
Hargrave left Sunday's preseason win against the Atlanta Falcons after playing just seven snaps. The team initially announced it was because Hargrave was "being evaluated for a possible concussion" and his return to the game was "questionable."
Early in the second half, the Steelers announced Hargrave was "out with a concussion."
Hargrave suffered a concussion during a December game last season as a rookie and missed the following week's contest. He also was evaluated for a concussion in the regular-season finale — meaningless to the Steelers at the time — but he returned to play in all three postseason games.
