Ben Roethlisberger – Important – Injury
QB Ben Roethlisberger expects to be under center on Sunday when the Pittsburgh Steelers face Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Roethlisberger sustained a rib injury late in the second half of Sunday’s 24-21 setback against the Oakland Raiders. The 36-year-old sat out four drives as a result before replacing Josh Dobbs and tossing a touchdown pass for the Steelers (7-5-1). A two-time Super Bowl champion and six-time Pro Bowl selection, Roethlisberger was pretty direct Tuesday on 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh when asked if there was any reason he wouldn’t play against the Patriots (9-4). “No, no, I don’t think so,” Roethlisberger said.
