HARRISON INACTIVE, BIG BEN NOT STARTING?

Though Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger hasn’t been deactivated for Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Browns, our pal John Blackmore from WKKX in Wheeling, West Virginia (yours truly’s hometown) tells us that Roethlisberger wasn’t warming up as of 12:00 p.m. EST, one hour before kickoff. Meanwhile, Byron Leftwich and Dennis Dixon have been on the field warming up for the game against the Browns. Dixon is the third quarterback for Sunday’s game, and linebacker James Harrison has been scratched. The Week Seventeen contest is meaningless for the Steelers; they’ll be the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs, win or lose. UPDATE: Roethlisberger got the start, and as of 2:18 p.m. EST he remains in the game.
