Pittsburgh's super sophomore is just fine. No need to dust off Bubby Brister...
From The Associated Press:
PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has a hyperextended left knee and a bone bruise sustained during a game-winning field goal drive at the end of a 24-22 victory over San Diego on Monday night, but hasn’t been ruled out of Sunday’s game against Jacksonville. The injury isn’t as severe as it initially appeared to be — immediately after the game, coach Bill Cowher said "it looked bad." "It’s a deep sigh of relief," Cowher said Tuesday. Roethlisberger, 16-1 as an NFL regular-season starter, was injured with 1:05 remaining when Chargers defensive end Luis Castillo’s helmet collided with his left knee as Roethlisberger was completing a 9-yard pass to Antwaan Randle El. Roethlisberger lay in pain on the turf for several minutes, clutching at his knee, before limping off the field. He was removed from the field on a cart, his knee heavily wrapped, after Jeff Reed kicked a 40-yard field goal with six seconds remaining, but he had no bandage on the knee when he got dressed shortly after that. Roethlisberger had an MRI test shortly after the team returned to Pittsburgh on Tuesday morning.
So Steeler things are looking good - Bettis is back,Roethlisberger is OK, and we are most likely through the toughest part of the schedule - except
for Indianapolis somewhere down the road.
So where the H is Deuce Staley!
