BREAKING NEWS: Ben Roethlisberger Out For Remainder of the Season

Today, Pittsburg Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin announced that starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will undergo surgery on his elbow and miss the rest of the 2019 NFL season.

Unlike New Orleans Saints quarterback, Drew Brees, Roethlisberger’s injury occurred on a non-contact play.

Roethlisberger underwent an MRI today that confirmed he will need surgery to repair his elbow. This will sideline him for the remainder of the year and Pittsburgh will place him on IR.

For the Steelers, this is a huge hit. With Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown no longer wearing the black and yellow, Week 3 will be the first time since 2004 that none of that once illustrious trio will be on the field.

Mason Rudolph now steps in to become QB1 for the season.
