Re: Big Jen Ruled OUT for Sunday!!!
Roethlisberger has rib injury too, out vs. Ravens
By WILL GRAVES, AP Sports Writer – 9 minutes ago
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger's sprained right shoulder is just the start of his problems.
The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback said Tuesday he also dislocated a rib while getting sacked in the third quarter of Monday night's win against Kansas City. Roethlisberger sprained the SC joint in his shoulder on the play but says the rib issue is a bigger concern.
Roethlisberger said doctors are concerned the rib could cut into his aorta. He's already been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Backup Byron Leftwich will start in his place.
Roethlisberger said there is no timetable for his return because of the unusual nature of the injury. He is hopeful that he can return at some point but added he's in considerable pain and has slept just four hours over the last two nights.
Also... @BobLabriola: Byron Leftwich will start at QB for the Steelers vs the Ravens. Team will not take a chance with Ben's shoulder.

#Roethlisberger's rib is partially dislocated and of more concern than the shoulder. Don't look for him to play in awhile. #SteelersLast edited by Paintballguy; 11-14-2012 at 02:36 PM.

Ben will be out at least four weeks, maybe more. Being reported as a dislocated first rib, with a danger of puncturing the aorta. Doctors say it must be fully healed before he steps on the field for safety reasons.
Rib injuries like that can take quite a while to heal. Has to do with the circulation in the ribcage being very low in comparison to other parts of the body.

Ben maybe done for the year.

Re: Big Jen Ruled OUT for Sunday!!!
He has a fractured rib pressing against his aorta. They dont even know how they are going to fix it, most likely surgery of some kind. They guy was a MM away from dying. His career is in jeopardy and life, football is the last thing we or he should be thinking about. He is weeks away from being a father and married, has tons of money and fame. He might hang it
up. It's a very complicated issue. Not just waiting for fractured rib to heal.

"Alot" is a lovable imaginary grammar monster. You can love a lot; you can love an alot; you can love alots a lot; but they are not the same thing.

JFC, Man. He's Not playing. Looking at the injuries he has sustained, I doubt he plays in the next month.
Another thing, as a fan base, are we that afraid of Roethlisberger and if he is playing or not? Ravens swept them last year and i have no doubt we'll do it again this year. With or without their starting QB.
