The Pittsburgh Steelers have announced that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will not be cleared to play in their upcoming game against the Seattle Seahawks. Roethlisberger has been dealing with an elbow injury since the start of the season and has been listed as the No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart.
The Steelers had hoped that Roethlisberger would be able to return to the field this week, but the team’s medical staff has determined that he is not yet ready to play. Roethlisberger has been rehabbing his elbow injury since the start of the season, but it appears that he is still not at full strength.
The Steelers have been relying on backup quarterback Mason Rudolph to lead the team in Roethlisberger’s absence. Rudolph has performed admirably in his role, but the team is still hoping that Roethlisberger can return to the field soon.
The Steelers will now have to face the Seahawks without their starting quarterback, which could be a difficult task. The Seahawks are one of the best teams in the league and have a formidable defense. Without Roethlisberger, the Steelers may struggle to move the ball and score points.
It is unclear when Roethlisberger will be cleared to play again, but the team is hopeful that he will be back on the field soon. Until then, Rudolph will continue to lead the team and try to keep them in contention for a playoff spot.
