NFL.com’s Jason La Canfora reports that the Pittsburgh Steelers officials would be “shocked” if Ben Roethlisberger plays in this weekends game against the St Louis Rams.
La Canfora adds that the team expects Roethlisberger to sit out at least one game to allow his ankle to health.
It’s hard to argue with the idea considering how poorly he played against the 49ers and the fact that they’ll need him to be healthy if they intent to make a run in the postseason. Charlie Batch is next in line to start for the Steelers so it will be up to him to come away with a win this weekend.
