Here is another interesting story on the upcoming decision facing Pittsburgh Steelers starting safety Ryan Clark.
The eight-year veteran has sickle cell trait and became extremely ill the last time Clark played in the thin air of Denver. The Steelers (5-2) once again travel to play the Broncos (6-1) in a big matchup on Monday.
Clark received medical clearance last week, which leaves the decision up to the player and coaching staff.
"His physical health, his well-being, of course, is paramount," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Monday. "We're going to attempt to do what's right, we're going to weigh all our options and we're going to come to a decision at some point later this week."
Both parties will decide on Clark's playing status later in the week. So what should Clark and the Steelers do?
