Ben Roethlisberger began taking COVID-19 tests Tuesday in an effort to be cleared in time to play in the Steelers' game Sunday night at Los Angeles against the Chargers.
Whether or not the Steelers' starting quarterback gets the two consecutive negative tests within a 24-hour period he needs to be removed from the NFL's Reserve/COVID-19 List remains to be seen.
If he does, the Steelers' plan is to start Roethlisberger, who tested positive for the virus last Saturday. If he doesn't pass his tests, then Mason Rudolph, who got a surprise start last week, would make it two in a row for the Steelers.
