Re: Big Ben
According to Mike Tomlin, Benny Boy has a Sternoclavicular sprain and is "Questionable"
Now, if you do some digging into this. Brett Favre sustained a Sternoclavicular sprain against the Bills in 2010. He missed the next game against the Giants, which broke his active game streak. But, he was back the week after, at which point he got a concussion and never played in the NFL again.
I found an article here: http://www.oa-performancetraining.co...ett-favre.html, which is mentioning that at the time, there was potential treatment that had a chance of enabling Favre to play vs the Giants. But apparently, he didn't respond well.
So, the take away? 1 - It's Ben Roethlisberger, so I'd say Questionable is about right. Guy has played through things that boggle the mind. 2 - Most likely, he'll need to miss at least the first game. 3 - It is very possible that he misses 1-2 games and is back for the 2nd game vs Baltimore.
Either that, or Tomlin is trying to throw some misdirection to mask a worse injury..

“When I think of a Baltimore Raven - we go in there, we take your lunch box, we take your sandwich, we take your juice box, we take your applesauce, and we take your spork and we break it. And we leave you with an empty lunch. That’s the Baltimore Raven way.” - Steve Smith Sr.
