To review, Orr said he discovered a herniated disk after he hurt his neck in Steelers game. Further tests revealed the congenital condition

Whatever it takes
There's been a spike in banana consumption in Steelers building this week b/c of flu bug, I'm told. Usually about 40 lbs, more like 50 now

Not the reason he was off
Le'Veon Bell did NOT become a father yesterday. He was dumbfounded why some kept congratulating him today.
He confirmed he practiced today.
— Chris Adamski (@C_AdamskiTrib) January 20, 2017
Let me clarify. Le'Veon Bell SAID he did not have a baby — yet. ("Any day now").
Do with that info what you wish.https://t.co/1i9GM0XtXM

Green could play
At least some good news on Ladarius Green: He said the surgically repaired ankle is "doing great, better than I thought it would be."
— Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN) January 20, 2017
The fact the #Steelers permitted L. Green to talk to reporters today is a positive sign. Hadn't spoken since being concussed in Cincinnati

I think they'd dress him. He was packing a bag. https://t.co/JJlSO6VPl9

Ugh
Tedy Bruschi will serve as Patriots' honorary captain for Sunday's AFC Championship Game.

Packers dealing with bug too
Aaron Rodgers is sick. "Rest, fluids, all that stuff. We'll be OK. Jordy had it. Mason had it. I got it. We'll deal with it."
