Steelers

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger said he isn’t ruling himself out for Week 11 game, despite suffering a mid-foot sprain this past weekend.

“The [Week 11] bye will come at a good time, but I’m not even going to rule myself out this week,” Roethlisberger said on 93.7 The Fan, via CBS Pittsburgh. “I’m going to take it one day at a time. … I can walk on it. I’m not running around or anything but the smart thing to do, from what doc has told me and the trainers is just to kinda keep ice on it and get the swelling out and just kind of rest it, let it heal.”
