PITTSBURGH -- As a general rule, Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin doesnt get too caught up in the emotional toll of a loss or the carnage it can leave behind.Yes, going over Sundays lifeless, sloppy showing in Miami wasnt pleasant. Its not supposed to be when you get whipped by a last-place team.We cant spend any time lamenting that performance and who is available or who is not available, Tomlin said Tuesday.Going through the injury list would probably take too much time anyway, especially now that it includes quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.The tweaked left knee Roethlisberger suffered in the second quarter against Miami while trying to avoid a sack resulted in surgery on Monday. While Roethlisberger prides himself on his toughness, he wont be in the lineup when Tom Brady and the New England Patriots visit on Sunday. Tomlin officially ruled Roethlisberger out and Landry Jones the starter for a showdown with the AFC East leaders.Tomlin declined to give a timeline for Roethlisbergers potential return. The Steelers (4-2) are off next week and travel to Baltimore on Nov. 6. Its possible Roethlisberger could be back by then, but Tomlin wont speculate on that now. Trying to figure out a way to slow down the Patriots (5-1) without his franchise quarterback takes precedence anyway.Besides, Roethlisberger is just one of a number of bold-faced names that may be out of the lineup. Defensive end Cam Heyward will miss his second straight game with a balky left hamstring and linebacker Ryan Shazier (knee) and right tackle Marcus Gilbert (ankle) will likely need to make significant strides this week if they want to be in uniform. Shazier, Pittsburghs most dynamic defender, hasnt played since Week 3, while Gilberts left ankle is still aching from a Week 4 win over Kansas City.Running back DeAngelo Williams (knee), safety Rob Golden (foot), safety Mike Mitchell (knee) and wide receiver Markus Wheaton (shoulder) are also hurting. If the mystifying 30-15 setback in Miami proved anything, its that the Steelers hardly look like a legitimate threat in the AFC with so many contributors in sweatpants and sneakers instead of cleats.Minus Heyward and Shazier, Pittsburgh allowed Miamis Jay Ajayi to become the first opposing back to go over 200 yards against the Steelers since Fred Taylor in 2000. The offensive line, which survived just fine without Gilbert in a victory over the Jets, struggled to protect Roethlisberger against the Dolphins.A little bit of help, however, may be on the way. Tight end Ladarius Green will attempt to practice this week as he works his way back from offseason ankle surgery and other issues that have kept Pittsburghs rare splurge in free agency on the physically unable to perform list. The team has 21 days once Green begins practicing to determine whether to put him on the 53-man roster.While tight ends Jesse James, Xavier Grimble and David Johnson have been a pleasant surprise, Greens ability to make plays downfield would bring another dimension and take some of the pressure off All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown.Its been so long, I feel like I retired and came back, Green said Monday.Tomlin will wait until later the week to gauge Greens progress. Its more likely Green will need some time to get acclimated before seeing actual playing time. He remains optimistic he will be back at some point and theres no reason to think Roethlisberger, Heyward and the rest of Pittsburghs key contributors will be out an extended period.Of course, that wont help on Sunday against Tom Brady. The Steelers proved last year they could survive without Roethlisberger, winning on the road at San Diego and at home against eventual NFC West champion Arizona with someone else under center. Jones did a pretty decent Roethlisberger impression against the Cardinals while throwing a pair of touchdowns in a 25-13 win .The test will be even more daunting against the AFCs best team. Tomlin isnt worried about Jones getting ready for the challenge.Hes a professional athlete, Tomlin said. I dont suspect hes going to be lacking of confidence. Landrys a confident guy by nature.Game notes The Steelers signed offensive tackle Brian Mihalik and placed cornerback Al-Hajj Shabazz on the practice squad. To make room for Mihalik on the active roster, Pittsburgh released offensive lineman Matt Feiler, who was put on the 53-man for the first time in his career last Sunday.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Tony Brown Super Bowl Jersey .

BELLEFONTE, Pa. -- The former Penn State assistant football coach suing Penn State told jurors Friday he was angered when told he could not return to team facilities after being put on leave the week Jerry Sandusky was charged with child molestation.Mike McQueary testified in the fifth day of trial in his lawsuit, where hes seeking more than $4 million in lost wages and other claims.School officials have testified that safety concerns prompted them to put McQueary on paid administrative leave in November 2011, and he never returned to the football program.They tell me, the guy who turned in a pedophile, to stay away from team facilities, he testified. And they let him go around there for years after they knew about it not once but twice. That gets me. That does not make sense to me. Its wrong.McQueary says he saw Sandusky sexually abusing a boy in a team shower in 2001 and reported it to then-head coach Joe Paterno and two administrators. Another complaint was investigated in 1998 but produced no charges until authorities took a new look at the case starting in 2009.His testimony helped convict Sandusky of 45 counts of child sexual abuse in 2012, but he has not been able to find a job.McQueary told jurors he got a sense his status with the program was in trouble in the days after Sandusky was charged with molestation and twoo high-ranking school officials were charged with perjury and failing to properly report suspected child abuse.ddddddddddddThe only university official who offered him words of encouragement during that period was Paterno, he said. He recounted an exchange they had on the practice field shortly before the schools trustees fired Paterno.He said the aging coach told McQueary he had not done anything wrong and warned him not to trust Old Main -- the administration building.He specifically said, `Make sure you have a lawyer. Youre all right. You didnt do anything wrong. He was very, the word I want to use is, unselfish, about all of it, McQueary said.He also recounted seeing Sandusky with the boy in the shower in 2001, slamming his locker door shut and seeing that they had separated.McQueary did not say anything, physically intervene or call police, but he did contact Paterno the next day.I think one of the concerns perhaps in the very first minute is, Whos going to believe me? Who is going to believe when I tell them that Jerry Sandusky was doing this? McQueary testified. I didnt know if my dad would believe me. I didnt know if anyone would believe me. And to his credit, Coach Paterno did believe me. ' ' '
