Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin expressed optimism regarding quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's rehab process in an interview with NFL Network's Steve Wyche on Thursday.
"You know, as we sit here today, we're extremely confident in his readiness," Tomlin said. "We're enjoying the process that he's going through right now. Obviously it's not without its angst—the guy's coming off season-ending injury and surgery—but we like where we are, he's throwing on a rehab schedule, it's going well, and we fully anticipate him being ready to go for that opener.
