The balance of power in the AFC North Division took a major shift on Monday with the news that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will need surgery on his right elbow and will miss the remainder of the 2019 season.
Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin announced the news in a short release on the team’s website:
Ben Roethlisberger had an MRI on his right elbow Sunday evening and it was determined by the Steelers’ medical team that surgery will be required. We expect the surgery will be scheduled for this week.
