Roethlisberger sits out practice
Injury list has him out for today's practice (foot)...It has to be more serious than they were leading on. Missing time in such a critical week cant be a positive.
He'll play...I have no doubt about that but how much will it affect him? |

I cant imagine a scenario... where keeping your QB out of practice would be used to fool an opponent.
He wasn't "limited"...he was out. That sounds more serious than they led on... If Smith was out today with a bad ankle...I would be concerned. Ladarius Green is still out with a concussion....they really dont have a TE receiving threat if he doesn't play. Last edited by BlackOp; 01-11-2017 at 08:03 PM.. |

If the guy walks into the training room and is being Paul Pierce (i.e. a make-believe soft bitch who milks every injury for additional television time and attention), the trainers can't really do a hell of a lot about it. The big old bastard says he can't practice so you don't make him practice. It doesn't mean he's not full of shit. He's fine. And **** Paul Pierce.

Maybe his foot fell off and that was what the boot was for.

I'm telling you that lateral ankle sprain did NOT look good. Grade 1 sprain at the least

Hows does one practice for an injured QB? Go half speed? That wasn't the point of the thread..it was he may (or may not) have a bum ankle.
He'll play...but may be planting on a numbed down throwing foot. I was more interested in him not taking reps with a divisional road game looming. He has been pretty bad, on the road, this year... |

This wouldn't be the first time that the Steelers made a big deal out of a minor "injury" to Big Ben before a game. |
