Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger won’t play during Saturday night’s preseason game against the Redskins.
Roethlisberger suffered an injury to his Achilles’ tendon on Thursday, during a practice that in past years had been scrapped for “Movie Day.”
Roethlisberger made the trip to Maryland for the game. Per Schefter, Roethlisberger is wearing tennis shoes and walking with a limp.
His status for next Saturday’s preseason home game against the Bills isn’t known.
Too bad he wasn’t limp that one fateful night in Nevada.
Maybe he is just trying to do the Crip Walk? It could be practice for a new TD dance.
Or maybe he’s trying to get some unsuspecting woman to try to fix his leg, much like he wanted one to fix his TV. You know, before the rape.
First it gets sprained then it POPS! Ask Vinny. Just wait until the first time Ben is forced to dart out of the pocket early in a game. The people in the nose bleed seats will hear it pop.
This long after the “allegation” he still can’t walk properly.
OK Washingtonians, lock up your daughters. Lil ben Rapersberger is in town !!!
When the team comes out of the tunnel for the first game Roethlisberger will probably be in a wheelchair. Then once his team fields the kickoff he’ll come out of the wheelchair and lead them down the field for a TD. Now that’s drama.
He isn’t limping. He’s walking with a little “chubby”.
It always happens when he visits out-of-town hotels.
dont worry benny is a veteran hes just taking it easy until it counts.
“Per Schefter, Roethlisberger is wearing tennis shoes and walking with a limp.”
Let’s hope that Big Ben wasn’t just leaving the dentist’s office, or he may end up being serenaded by Mel Torme.
Nice Seinfeld reference “CountSnail”
jersey73 is happy!
Movie day? I remember having those in daycare.

Ben is still limping because he broke his foot off in the Raven’s ass 3 times last year.
I read he got hurt trying to fix a TV. Maybe he should have called someone?
“Just wait until the first time Ben is forced to dart out of the pocket early in a game. ”
Lol. Big Ben doesn’t dart, he just kinda rumbles/waddles.
5, CountSnail. Jimmy loves that episode.
CountSnail,
Hellooo

I believe Ben broke it off in the artists formerly known as the Dallas Cowboys as well.
Of course being the perennial also-rans the Cowboys have been for over a decade, that’s not really saying much.
Sweet. What a dumbass. He rides a motorcycle after winning his first super bowl. And then before winning this last super bowl he allegedly climbs on top a woman. Seriously. he is stupid.
Wow a mere two days after being spiked Ben is limping. What insight!
What’s next? Water is wet?

Real MEN play on grass, in the elements…not on plastic, under glass
Makes no difference to SteelerNation anyway, we beat you on the hallowed turf at Heinz Field & on the plastic surface in your Cowtown with our current franchise QB…no worries, the hole in the roof gave God the best seat in the house, to witness the NFL’s deserving & rightful flagship franchise’s defeat of your Cryboys!!!
ben is limping? she must have kicked him in the nuts!

v2 can always console hisself by getting his pic on the widescreen in dallas.

This is perfect. Ben needs an excuse if he doesn’t play well, and now he has one, as well as an excuse to get out of practices for a while. I mean, what use is the preseason for a stud like him anyways? It will be tough for Ben to concentrate on being a good QB with all the distractions going on around him anyways, not to mention his skills of concentration and decision making have been less than sharp lately anyways.
