Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said QB Ben Roethlisberger (knee) is dealing with some discomfort in his knee, but it is not considered a setback.
Footballguys View: This is the second year of Todd Haley as offensive coordinator, so Roethlisberger can miss some time without too many repercussions. Still, developing chemistry with third-round pick Markus Wheaton would be beneficial. Roethlisberger will likely play all of this year banged up, just as he has for most of his career.
