Roethlisberger Says Elbow Is Fine After Doctors Check On It Mid-Game

Saturday was Halloween but Sunday offered one more weekend scary moment. The CBS broadcast caught Steelers’ team doctor James Bradley checking on Ben Roethlisberger and his right elbow, the one surgically repaired last season, after getting sacked in the first half of Sunday’s win over the Baltimore Ravens.

After the game, Roethlisberger said his elbow is fine.

“Just a funny bone,” he told reporters post-game. “I’m good.”

Roethlisberger was sacked on 3rd and 12 with just under five minutes to go in the half. He fell hard to the ground, losing control of the football but recovered his own fumble.
