Barring an unforeseen calamity, the Steelers are going to have Ben Roethlisberger back at quarterback on Sunday afternoon.
The team listed Roethlisberger as probable on their final injury report of the week on Friday, which all but ends any lingering suspense about the team’s plans at quarterback this weekend. Most of it had already disappeared over the course of the week as Roethlisberger practiced without any issues in his injured knee.
Roethlisberger’s previous performances in his first game back from injuries isn’t great, although the team and Roethlisberger seem to have taken their time with his recovery this time around to ensure that he’s not playing at less than 100 percent.
Roethlisberger’s return gives the Steelers the fullest offensive group they’ve had all season. Sunday will be the first time that Roethlisberger, Le’Veon Bell, Martavis Bryant, Heath Miller and Antonio Brown have been in the lineup together this season, which should give a boost to their chances of handing the Bengals their first loss of the season.
