During a touchdown pass to star wide receiver Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger suffered a knee injury and was forced to the locker room.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was shaken up after a touchdown pass to Antonio Brown.
Roethlisberger was shaken up on the play and was slow to get up. Immediately, the Steelers signal-caller limped to the sideline and headed to the locker room.
With Roethlisberger in the locker room, backup Bruce Gradkowski began to warm up.
However, it didn’t take long for Ben Roethlisberger to return to the sideline. The official update from the team was a “right knee injury” for the star quarterback, with a probably return.
Roethlisberger’s touchdown pass to Antonio Brown put the Steelers up, 17-6.
If the Steelers are able to hang on to the win throughout the remainder of the fourth quater, they will have clinched a spot in the postseason.
