The Steelers have a week off after returning home from London as the self-proclaimed worst team in the NFL.

And that should give their quarterback time to recover from what seems like a minor injury.

According to Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger suffered a subluxation of his right index finger. That’s a big word for a partial dislocation, and since it didn’t keep him from finishing last week’s game, shouldn’t be much of a concern.

After all, he still has all 10 fingers, so he can’t complain.

If he does — or more importantly, if he doesn’t win a game soon — Steelers fans will be offering a finger of their own.
