BEREA, Ohio -- Robert Griffin IIIs next comeback isnt quite ready to begin.Clevelands quarterback, who broke a bone in his left shoulder while making his debut with the Browns in the season opener, has been cleared for non-contact drills and could play again this season.However, he wont practice this week and its not clear when hell be back on the field. Griffin was on a stationary bike off to the side Wednesday as the winless Browns (0-10) continued preparing for Sundays home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.Griffin has been sidelined since breaking the coracoid bone in his shoulder at the end of a running play in the fourth quarter of the Sept. 11 loss to the Eagles.Theres no guarantee RG3 will play in any of Clevelands last six games, but the Browns would like to take another look at the 26-year-old to see if he can be their starter next season and beyond.Once he begins practicing, the Browns will have 21 days to decide whether to take Griffin off injured reserve and put him on the active roster.Griffin signed a two-year, $15 million contract in March with the Browns, who were willing to give him a chance to revive his career after his four-year stint with Washington, which began so spectacularly, ended with his release earlier this year.Griffin overcame a serious knee injury while he was with the Redskins, but he lost his starting job last season to Kirk Cousins and didnt play a single snap.With Griffin on their roster, Cleveland passed on a chance to take Carson Wentz in the draft and traded the No. 2 overall pick to Philadelphia.Griffins injury was the first of several key ones for the Browns, who have been forced to play six quarterbacks. Rookie Cody Kessler, who was benched in favor of veteran Josh McCown in the second half last week against Baltimore, will start against the Steelers.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLAdidas Prophere Baratas .ca NFL Power Rankings, overtaking the Denver Broncos and remaining ahead of NFC competition San Francisco, Carolina and New Orleans.

We cannot sustain this forever.His group on Monday released results of its first-ever head-injury survey of more than 750 member high schools from 2015-2016 sports. It received data from nearly every school.The association started the program last fall with 62 high schools. It includes baseline testing of athletes in football and other sports to help with concussion diagnosis.The association spent $10,000 last school year to start the program. It expects to spend $30,000 this year but will have fewer schools -- 34 -- involved because of the expense and commitment. They will also concentrate on sports that have the highest incidence of head injury.I hope that we can demonstrate their value and encourage sponsorship, grant support, Roberts said. But its going to take I think some investment by the people in the communities. The moms and dads are going to have to think that this is important and worth to contributing to make the programs safer for their children.Here is some information on whats happening in Michigan:WHAT IS BASELINE TESTINGBaseline testing is a combination of memory, reaction time, attention and stress assessments. It is done in major pro sports because it is considered an objective and individualized tool to help decide whether to remove an athlete from a game. While all states have laws that address preventing concussions in youth sports, many are weak and none require baseline testing.WHY IT MATTERSMichigan schools reported 4,452 head injuries in boys and girls sport, or 5.9 per school. Contact sports had the most head injuries. Ranking first was 11-player football with 49 head injuries per 1,000 participants, followed by ice hockey with 38 and 8-player football with 34. Girls soccer had 30 injuries per 1,000 participants, and girls basketbball ranked fifth with 29 injuries per 1,000.ddddddddddddBut that is likely only part of the picture. Health and safety advocates fear concussions often go undetected in high schools because of inconsistent protocols at districts unwilling or unable to spend money for detection. Its often on players to self-report concussions, or on coaches, who have many responsibilities and sometimes little training, to recognize symptoms.WHY NOT ALL SCHOOLSSchools typically dont argue with the benefit of testing, but cash-strapped districts often say the cost of offering such programs is prohibitive.PROGRAMS AVAILABLEMany sideline concussion-testing programs are on the market. Michigan is testing the Illinois-based King-Devick Test affiliated with the Mayo Clinic and Maryland-based XLNTbrain Sport. The association provides them for free to the participating schools. Long term, Roberts thinks the association could fund it in part with a $3 to $5 fee per student. But the association is also working to get grants.HOW IT WORKSBaselines with the XLNTbrain Sport are determined during 30-minute sessions by athletes at computers. The tests measure reaction time, attention, memory and stress by completing a series of exercises that involve such things as word recognition. Athletes suspected of a head injury undergo a sideline assessment done in about five minutes with an iPhone or tablet app. It assesses memory by providing words for the athlete to remember. It asks questions that require the athlete to recall the hit. The athletes also hold the phone as they stand for 20 seconds with eyes open and then closed to check balance. That assessment is compared to the athletes baseline data to help determine whether they can return to play.WHATS NEXT IN MICHIGANRoberts hopes that universities, health care systems and the National Federation of State High School Associations will help analyze the data from last year and this year. The association plans specifically to work with Michigan State Universitys Institute for the Study of Youth Sports to explore possible changes and additions in coaches education.----Follow Roger Schneider on Twitter at https://twitter.com/rogschneider ' ' '
