Steelers

Steelers’ QB coach Mike Sullivan says that Ben Roethlisberger has been reviewing game tape and working on his accuracy.

“We spent some time one-on-one looking at the Green Bay tape,” Sullivan said, via Mark Kaboly of The Athletic. “He’s seeing some of the same things that I am seeing. Accuracy — most people think it is the arm, but typically it is your lower body with your stride length, target step, follow-through, and we are attacking the fundamentals. He is very aware of it, and he’s seeing some of the same things I am seeing, and he’s made a concerted effort to try to improve those things. Every quarterback who has ever played this game would love to have that five-second, six seconds, nice-fanned pocket, sort of like seven-on-seven. In reality, that’s not going to happen. Even with seven-on-seven or 11-on-11 in practice, the show-team defensive line isn’t coming nearly as hard as a real defense would. It is a constant process to replicate what happens in the game even though he’s not feeling that pressure.”

• Steelers signed WR Cody White to their active roster.
