Struggles against Ravens
Roethlisberger completed 36 of 51 pass attempts for 266 yards, one touchdown and one interception Week 12 against the Ravens.
Analysis: Roethlisberger struggled to get in a rhythm and averaged only 5.2 yards per attempt. He managed only two completions of over 20 yards and also failed to throw a touchdown pass until there were 13 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. While volume continues to mask Roethlisberger's inefficiency as a thrower, he has failed to surpass six yards per attempt in four of his last six contexts. He'll look to bounce back in a Week 13 matchup against Washington.

Steelers-Ravens moved to Wednesday
The NFL has moved Roethlisberger and the Steelers' upcoming matchup against the Ravens from Tuesday to Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Week 12 divisional contest was initially meant to be played Thanksgiving night, but repeated COVID-19 cases on Baltimore's end have since resulted in the game being moved to last Sunday, then Tuesday, and now to Wednesday after another Ravens player tested positive. As a result, Pittsburgh's scheduled Week 13 matchup against Washington this Sunday could also be at risk of postponement, per Schefter.

Steelers-Ravens rescheduled
Roethlisberger and the Steelers won't play Sunday against the Ravens after the NFL announced the game was rescheduled for Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: With the Baltimore roster and staff ravaged by positive COVID-19 tests at the moment, this key AFC North matchup already was in peril. The Ravens have closed their team facilities until Monday, so it'll be interesting to see if this game is played at all.

Practicing fully
Roethlisberger (quadriceps) practiced fully Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Seelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Roethlisberger was listed as a limited participant Tuesday, but he'll be available for the Steelers' Week 12 game against the Ravens. The game was initially scheduled for Thanksgiving Day before the NFL pushed it back to Sunday at 1:15 p.m. ET due to a surge of positive COVID-19 test results within the Baltimore camp.

Limited by quad issue
Roethlisberger was listed as a limited participant during Tuesday's practice due to a quadriceps injury, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: As Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com notes, Roethlisberger is showing up on the Steelers' report for the first time all season with an actual injury, as his previous absences or limitations during practice have been for rest or non-injury reasons. While Rothlisberger may be a bit more banged up than normal following the team's Week 11 win over the Jaguars, the quarterback is still expected to tough it out and play in the Steelers' Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Ravens this week.

Steers team to 10-0
Roethlisberger completed 32 of 46 pass attempts for 267 yards, throwing two touchdowns and committing one interception during Sunday's 27-3 win against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Roethlisberger worked from a clean pocket for much of the Week 11 victory, as he absorbed zero sacks and just three total QB hits on the afternoon. Jacksonville hung around for much of the first half, as did seemingly overmatched Dallas in a more enduring Week 9 effort. However, Roethlisberger and the Steelers were able to fortify the lead to 14 points with a seven-play, 61-yard drive in the final three minutes of the first half Sunday, culminating the possession with a one-yard Benny Snell TD…read more

Picks apart Bengals
Roethlisberger completed 27 of 46 passes for 333 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 10 against the Bengals.
Analysis: Roethlisberger started the game slowly, as the offense generated only six points on the first four possessions. However, he caught fire from there, connecting for touchdowns of 12, 8, 11 and five yards. Despite not practicing all week after close exposure to Vance McDonald (COVID-19), Roethlisberger managed his highest yardage and touchdown totals of the campaign. Roethlisberger will look to keep things rolling in Week 11 in another positive matchup against the Jaguars.

Activated off reserve/COVID-19
Roethlisberger (illness/knee) was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis: This seemed to be the plan as soon as Roethlisberger was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday. It also appears as if the knee injury which forced the veteran quarterback to leave a portion of last Sunday's game is also not bothering him, which is overall good news for his fantasy prospects this Sunday against the Bengals.

Likely off COVID list Saturday
Coach Mike Tomlin indicated Friday that the expectation remains that Roethlisberger (illness/knees) will come off the COVID-19 list Saturday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Tomlin added that if all goes as planned, the Steelers will have an extended walk-through with the QB and his teammates to help give Roethlisberger what Pryor describes as "an in-helmet perspective" in advance of Sunday's game against the Bengals. Additionally, Tomlin relays that Roethlisberger was able to receive treatment on his knees throughout the week, while noting that the signal-caller's knees "weren't an issue at all anyway."

Heads to COVID-19 list
The Steelers placed Roethlisberger (knees) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Roethlisberger was one of four Steelers added to the list on the heels of tight end Vance McDonald testing positive for COVID-19 on Monday. The new players added to the list aren't believed to be COVID-19 positive themselves; instead, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network relays that Roethlisberger, running back Jaylen Samuels, linebacker Vince Williams and offensive lineman Jerald Hawkins were deemed "high-risk" close contacts of a positive individual.

Hurts knees in Week 9
Though Roethlisberger injured both of his knees in Sunday's win over the Cowboys, "there is cautious optimism" that the Steelers' starting QB will be able to play Week 10 against the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: That assessment arrives after Roethlisberger underwent tests Monday, and with this news his status will need to be monitored closely in the coming days. Next up for the Steelers' QB reps if Roethlisberger misses practice time or game action is Mason Rudolph.

Big day in Dallas
Roethlisberger completed 29 of 42 passes for 306 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: In a surprisingly close contest between the undefeated Steelers and two-win Cowboys, Roethlisberger was forced to air it out, topping 300 passing yards for the second time in 2020 and throwing three TDs for the third time. The veteran quarterback also left the game briefly at the end of the second quarter after a hard hit, but he was back under center to begin the second half. Roethlisberger could be headed for another big performance if Week 10's clash with Joe Burrow and the Bengals turns…read more

Back on field Sunday
Roethlisberger (knee) returned to Sunday's contest at Dallas, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
Analysis: Roethlisberger left the field near the end of the first half, but not before throwing a 17-yard TD to James Washington. A knee injury was the culprit, but after getting treatment on the affected region Roethlisberger has been cleared to return by the Steelers. He'll look to lead the team back from a 16-9 deficit.

In line to return Sunday
Roethlisberger (knee) is slated to return at the start of the second half Sunday at Dallas, Burt Lauten of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: After he was knocked to the turf near the end of the first half, Roethlisberger clutched at his right knee, but he stayed in the game and finished the drive with a 17-yard touchdown to James Washington. Roethlisberger went to the locker immediately afterward, however, and Lauten confirmed the quarterback is dealing with a knee issue. Still, Roethlisberger will attempt to gut it out in the second half of a close contest with the Cowboys.

Goes to locker room before halftime
Roethlisberger (undisclosed) went to the locker room just before halftime of Sunday's game in Dallas, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: On the Steelers' second-to-last possession of the first half, Roethlisberger was knocked to the ground and immediately grabbed at his right knee, per Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News. Roethlisberger proceeded to complete the drive with a 17-yard scoring strike to James Washington, but he promptly left the field thereafter. Mason Rudolph took the field when the Steelers got the ball back quickly due to a CeeDee Lamb fumble, so it'll be interesting to see who among Roethlisberger or…read more

Tosses two TDs, reins in turnovers
Roethlisberger went 21-for-32 passing with 182 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions during Sunday's 28-24 win against the Ravens.
Analysis: Roethlisberger endured a three-interception effort as the Steelers squeaked by the Titans 27-24 last Sunday, but his Week 8 outing was much cleaner in another very closely contested game. The two-time Super Bowl champion has thrown interceptions in just two of his seven appearances this season, leading Pittsburgh to its second 7-0 start in franchise history. A Week 9 matchup against the Cowboys is ultra enticing, as Dallas is tied for 28th in the NFL with 2.3 passing TDs surrendered per game.

Struggles with turnovers
Roethlisberger completed 32 of 49 pass attempts for 268 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in Week 7 against the Titans.
Analysis: Roethlisberger and the Steelers were blistering on offense to begin the game, scoring on their first four possessions. That included a pair of touchdown tosses by Roethlisberger, both of which went to Diontae Johnson (ankle). However, after that, Roethlisberger struggled to take care of the ball, throwing interceptions to end three of the team's final six drives.

Limited by game script
Roethlisberger completed 14 of 22 pass attempts for 162 yards and a touchdown in Week 6 against the Browns.
Analysis: Roethlisberger turned in an efficient performance but also attempter a season-low 22 pass attempts as the Steelers' cruised to victory. Even with the limited opportunity, Roethlisberger connected with James Washington for a long 28-yard touchdown. He also continued to develop rapport with Chase Claypool for big gains of 36 and 23 yards. With a Week 7 matchup against the Titans on tap, Roethlisberger will likely return to more volume in short order.

Throws for three scores
Roethlisberger completed 27 of 34 pass attempts for 239 yards and three touchdowns in Week 5 against the Eagles.
Analysis: Roethlisberger largely played game manager, as he averaged only seven yards per attempt but kept the Steelers' offense moving throughout the game. His longest completion of the day came on a 35-yard touchdown toss to Chase Claypool. Roethlisberger has topped 300 passing yards only once this season, but he boasts 10 passing scores and has thrown only one interception through four games. He'll look to add to that tally in Week 6 against the Browns.

Roethlisberger and the Steelers will not take the field Week 4 against the Titans following additional positive COVID-19 tests within the Tennessee organization, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The initial plan was to move the game from Sunday to either Monday or Tuesday, but with reports of additional positive tests from another Titans player and personnel member surfacing, the league ultimately decided it would be best to postpone the contest.

Analysis: Roethlisberger completed 72 percent of his pass attempts while spreading the ball around to seven different receivers. He completed touchdown passes to Eric Ebron and JuJu Smith-Schuster in the second quarter but deferred to the running game a bit more in the second half.

Analysis: Roethlisberger didn't take part in Wednesday's practice for maintenance purposes, which is expected to be the norm over the next 15 weeks of the regular season as the Steelers look to limit the strain on the veteran's surgically-repaired elbow.

Roethlisberger's first touchdown came on a 10-yard pass on third down to top wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster, then shortly afterwards he found James Washington for a 13-yard score just before halftime.

Been playing in pain for years
Roethlisberger recently relayed that he's been playing with nagging pain in his throwing arm for over 13 years, Terez Paylor of Yahoo Sports reports.
Analysis: It is not a surprise that NFL quarterbacks endure a lot of pain, but it is a bit shocking to learn that Roethlisberger has suffered arm pain for almost his entire professional career. On the bright side, Big Ben says the pain has not returned since having elbow surgery during the offseason. Given the subpar performances of Mason Rudolph and Devlin Hodges in relief of Roethlisberger in 2019, the Steelers would likely settle for a fraction of the career-high 5,129 passing yards and 34 touchdowns…read more

Roethlisberger appeared to be short-arming some of his throws during Monday's practice, according to Mark Kaboly of The Athletic.
Analysis: Kaboly said the velocity looked fine, but he also mentioned that some of the deep throws reminded him of Philip Rivers' unconventional delivery. Roethlisberger is about 11 months removed from major elbow surgery, and coach Mike Tomlin mentioned a few weeks ago that the veteran quarterback's spirals weren't quite as tight as he'd like them to be.

He's been throwing footballs in some capacity since February, with no report of any setbacks along the way. The 38-year-old quarterback provided some details on his surgery Tuesday morning, noting that he tore three of the five flexor tendons in his throwing elbow.

Analysis: Coming back from major elbow surgery last September, the 38-year-old said in March that he was throwing without pain for the first time in years. The Steelers have given every indication Roethlisberger will be under center for Week 1, as he's recently been throwing passes to a group that includes Smith-Schuster, Diontae Johnson, James Washington, Eric Ebron and James Conner.

The clip ends with the veteran signal-caller receiving a cut and trim, indicating that his on-field work with Conner and Smith-Schuster represents being able to resume throwing without issues.

Analysis: Roethlisberger has displayed modest progress in his recovery from September surgery to reattach three ligaments in his throwing elbow, lofting passes in late February and throwing pain-free by the end of March. Along the way, there was an expectation he wouldn't do much during the offseason program and even be limited at the start of training camp.

Roethlisberger (elbow) isn't expected to do much during the offseason program and likely will be limited early in training camp, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: While he's said to be ahead of his initial rehab timeline, Roethlisberger only recently resumed throwing footballs, lofting some passes inside a gym in late February. The Steelers still haven't confirmed specifics of his injury, but this report suggests the Sept. 23 surgery reattached three ligaments in his throwing elbow.

The quarterback notes he was able to bypass tennis-ball throwing and instead moved right to footballs, but his timeline estimate suggests he won't be ready for strenuous activity any sooner than the end of the offseason program or the beginning of training camp.

Analysis: Tomlin echoed the sentiment shared by GM Kevin Colbert last Thursday, despite the long recovery underway by Roethlisberger following season-ending elbow surgery. Roethlisberger played just six quarters in 2019, and with Mason Rudolph, Devlin Hodges and Paxton Lynch the only current options besides Roethlisberger, the Steelers need Tomlin and Colbert to be right if they are to reach the playoffs for the first time in three seasons.

Update coming in February
Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Roethlisberger (elbow) will meet with doctors in early February for what amounts to a "significant" checkup, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Roethlisberger hasn't hit any reported snags in his recovery since undergoing surgery on his throwing elbow Sept. 23, but the Steelers won't be able to map out the final stages of his rehab process until he's re-evaluated. The 37-year-old indicated last week that he intends to continue his career in 2020, so if he gets a clean bill of health from doctors heading into training camp, Roethlisberger should reclaim his familiar perch atop the Steelers' depth chart. Tomlin suggested Monday that the…read more

Affirms commitment to play in 2020
Roethlisberger (elbow) announced Wednesday via his personal Twitter account that he's rehabbing his injury with the intention of continuing his career in 2020.
Analysis: Roethlisberger's 16th NFL season came to an end in Week 2, when he required surgery to reattach three tendons in the elbow on his (right) throwing arm. The veteran will turn 38 in March and carries a hefty $33.5 million cap figure for 2020, but assuming his recovery continues as anticipated, the Steelers will probably be willing to keep him in the fold. Neither undrafted rookie Devlin Hodges nor second-year signal-caller Mason Rudolph (shoulder) showed much promise directing the offense after…read more

Expecting full recovery
Roethlisberger is expected to be fully recovered from September elbow surgery and play during the 2020 season, Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Roethlisberger was shut down after the first two games of the current campaign and underwent a procedure Sept. 23 to reattach three tendons in his right elbow. The 16-year pro hasn't been cleared to throw but has made enough progress to date to raise hopes that he'll suit up next fall and potentially beyond that point. During his absence, the Steelers have put themselves in position to reach the postseason based on the strength of their defense. On the other side of the ball, both Mason Rudolph…read more
