Ben Roethlisberger: Injury Wasn't Identified Due to Raiders' Old X-Ray Machine

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger suggested Tuesday that the Oakland Raiders are a bit behind the times technologically.

Appearing on 93.7 The Fan (h/t CBS Pittsburgh), Big Ben discussed an issue that occurred when he got X-rays on a rib injury he suffered during Sunday's 24-21 road loss to the Raiders: "The X-ray was inconclusive because the machine was old."

While the specifics of his injury were unclear, Roethlisberger received a painkilling injection at halftime and was able to return in the fourth quarter when the medicine kicked in.
