It's rare that i do this, but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and predict that he is done for the year...

Even if he misses three weeks the division is a lock. It was already going to be a tough game for Pittsburgh to win with Ben healthy. Now that he is hurt, under the current circumstances, a sweep is likely.
I don't care what anyone says but while Ben has been ruled I'm still not going to rule the Steelers out. We should all have learned that by now. It's not unrealistic to think they won't be in the playoff mix.
ESPN's Bob Holtzman reported on NFL Live Wednesday that doctors have advised Ben Roethlisberger (shoulder, ribs) to not return until his partially dislocated rib is completely healed, and "that could take up to six weeks.
They can make the playoffs if they want, but I don't see who they are going to beat without him. They've already lost to Denver and if they are a wild card, they'd have to go there to play. That means that Clark won't play and, if Polamalu can't get healthy, they would have to face Peyton without both of their starting safeties. Are they going to go to Houston and beat the Texans? They might be able to keep it close with New England, because their defense is still having issues. However, a win there seems unlikely as well.
Ben's going to be out a lot longer than this Sunday's Ravens game.

I hope he recovers fully - but you've got to wonder how he keeps on going with this type of injury - even after it "heals" - whenever that is.
