oldtimer 8,686 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 https://sports.yahoo.com/steelers-qb-ben-roethlisberger-out-for-year-with-elbow-injury-will-need-surgery-155731203.html The Pittsburgh Steelers will have to endure the rest the NFL season without their starting quarterback, because Ben Roethlisberger is done for the year. After sustaining a non-contact injury to his right elbow during Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks, Roethlisberger needs season-ending surgery. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin released this statement on the team website: Ben Roethlisberger had an MRI on his right elbow Sunday evening and it was determined by the Steelers’ medical team that surgery will be required. We expect the surgery will be scheduled for this week. He will be placed on our Reserve/Injured List and is out for the season. Roethlisberger, 37, exited Sunday’s game with just a few minutes left in the first half. After throwing a pass, he grabbed at his elbow and winced. He left the game and never reentered. The Steelers have not announced what Roethlisberger’s injury is, or any details about the upcoming surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And frankly given the current state of the team, they should consider blowing things up and finding his replacement anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Didn’t look like they were going anywhere anyway. No way they can complete with the Ravens and unlikely to a wild card. Might as well fight it out with the phins for first overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that they just traded away next years First round pick to the Dolphins for Mincah Fitzpatrick, they think they have their new guy in Mason Rudolph and that next years QB's don't really thrill them or would be available.

As a franchise, the Steelers always seem to land on their feet. Really can't think of a franchise even close to their 45 year consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoStud 3,253 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I guess we'll find out very quickly if Mason Rudolph is a good as they hype him up to be... As an OSU fan I watched him a lot, he's pretty good, not sure if he's NFL good, but he can definitely sling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
