It looks as though Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger may be missing his fourth consecutive game tomorrow as he works his way back from an MCL sprain and bone bruise in his knee, which has kept him out since Week Three.
But that doesn’t mean that he won’t dress for the game. And he has dressed as a backup once before.
No, I’m not going all the way back to his rookie season in 2004 before he was even given the starting job. Back in 2009, after he had suffered a concussion in an overtime loss to their next opponent, the Kansas City Chiefs, Roethlisberger did not play the following week.
