View topic - Did Ben get X-ray Wednesday?

[thesteelhammer Profile]

Gregg Rosenthal, of NBC Sports, reports Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (rib, back) refused to comment on a report that he underwent an X-ray Wednesday, Jan. 28, on his rib. He said his ribs and back felt fine after the AFC Championship game Sunday, Jan. 18, and that he did not have any complications from the injuries. Questions to Roethlisberger about the X-ray exam were omitted from the league's official daily transcripts later Thursday, Jan. 29.

Peter King addresses the rumor & says

The news of the day is a report that Ben Roethlisberger had X-rays on his ribs. It looked to me like Roethlisberger was laboring. Do I think Big Ben's health will be a factor on Sunday? No, I thought he looked pretty good out there.

Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger practiced effectively but at times appeared to be trying to stretch his mid-torso region during the team's second full Super Bowl week practice session, held mostly in the rain at the University of South Florida Thursday afternoon
