Steelers | Big Ben won’t need surgery

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (shoulder) said he will not need surgery on his right shoulder in the offseason. He will take some time off in the next few weeks to let the injury heal. ‘From what I’ve been told by Doc (James) Bradley, no surgery,’ Roethlisberger said. ‘The ligaments will scar up and heal on their own. The only thing he could foresee possibly down the road is cleaning out the arthritis and scars. I don’t foresee any surgeries anytime soon.’ He also said he took a painkilling shot Friday, Jan. 15, and probably wouldn’t have gotten through the divisional round without it.
