Steelers radio broadcaster Myron Cope went home from the hospital Tuesday, but is expected to miss this weekend's game in Cleveland.

Cope, 75, apparently fell at home Saturday night or Sunday morning. He arrived at Heinz Field in time for the Steelers-Eagles game Sunday afternoon, but showed up much later than usual and had a cut on his head, broadcast partner Bill Hillgrove said.

During the first half of the game, Cope had difficulty calling some plays and admitted that he was not feeling well. A short time later, he was escorted out of the stadium and taken to UPMC Presbyterian.

Doctors think Cope, who is still recovering from recent throat surgery, may have suffered a concussion.

Cope said he will stay home and rest this weekend, under doctors' orders. He thinks he will be ready to work the Steelers-Bengals game in Cincinnati on Nov. 21.
