Ben Roethlisberger’s health is the least of the Steelers’ worries

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger spoke to the media on Tuesday for the first time since he suffered a major elbow injury in Week 2 of 2019 and was forced to miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery.

Roethlisberger said a lot of things during his virtual chat with reporters, including how he had been dealing with discomfort in his elbow for years, that he finally felt he had reached a point of no return with his elbow after a deep pass to receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster in the game against the Seahawks at Heinz Field and that he had to have three torn flexor tendons reattached during his surgery.
