Thread: Ben Roethlisberger Pain will determine status Shorten URL

"As long as I can deal with pain, I'll be out there," Roethlisberger said Thursday. "I don't want to let the guys down, so I'll do what I can to be out there."

Roethlisberger, who sat out the Steelers' win last Sunday against the St. Louis Rams, fully participated in practice again Thursday. He said the ankle, sprained on Dec. 8 in Pittsburgh's last meeting with the Browns, was "a little sore." Offensive coordinator Bruce Arians said he was "much more" confident in Roethlisberger's ability to play Sunday after watching his mobility improve in Thursday's practice.

Roethlisberger will play if he's healthy, Arians said.

There is a huge difference between "being tough" and having a big ego.

I loved watching that game against the 49ers, boy was he "tough" while throwing 3 interceptions... LOL..

Nothing wrong with sitting a game out for the sake of your team..

I don't find people like this tough. . He's making MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to play football....

It's hardly "tough" for him to make it out there..
