Big Ben tweaked ankle
Probably just him being his normal drama queen self.
All I know is the Steelers haven't looked so hot the past 2 games he has played in since the injury.
Ben Roethlisberger doesn't know how he aggravated his high-ankle sprain in Pittsburgh's Week 17 win over the Browns.
"I felt really good going into the Cleveland game," Roethlisberger said. "I don’t know if I caught it on the ground wrong or got hit. We’ll see, we’ll be alright." It sounds like Big Ben might just want something to talk about during the week. Until the Steelers say otherwise, assume Roethlisberger will be near his normal level of effectiveness for Sunday's Wild Card tilt with the BroncosBen Roethlisberger revealed Wednesday that he suffered a setback with his ankle after tweaking it against the Browns last week.
The Steelers still have no concern about Big Ben's status for Sunday's game. This could be just another case of Roethlisberger manufacturing drama surrounding his injury. He limped through the locker room Wednesday, "incidentally right past [an] ESPN crew," noted Mark Kaboly of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

Re: Big Ben tweaked ankle
There's always something
If Ben played for Bill Belichick or Andy Reid he wouldn't be let near the media and all injury news would be either denied or answered with coach speak
Seems the Steelers let him say whatever he wants and play to the media

Re: Big Ben tweaked ankle
Can't have Clark getting all the press coverage.. When they lose, it will come out that he actually fracture his ankle, and has been playing on it. Steelers coach probably knows nothing about the fracture.

Re: Big Ben tweaked ankle
I've got the inside scoop. It's not even fractured, he actually lost his foot and has been putting a structured shoe on the stump for 2 weeks now... Or at least that's the dream story he wants if he wins and will be his excuse for losing :grbac:

Re: Big Ben tweaked ankle
If Steelers management get involvement then it won't be a fracture
It'll be fracture like symptoms

Re: Big Ben tweaked ankle
As a Steeler fan I like how the guy plays football. Other than that his drama queen antics have been getting old. He needs to shut the fuck up and play or dont play. The broken thumb, broken toes, limping around shaking his hand...pleeeze.

Re: Big Ben tweaked ankle
This guy Roethlisberger......lol. First, you tweak the ankle, AND DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW YOU DID IT?!! THEN, you come back later and figure out that you tweaked it in Cleveland. Next week, he'll remember the exact play, but it won't be until after there is news of another Steelers injury.

Re: Big Ben tweaked ankle
You guys mentioning the hand, foot, ankle, etc "injuries" to Ben failed to mention the best of all. He (allegedly) got a concussion a couple years back and they ended up strapping him to a stretcher, helmet and all with his facemask removed by an electric screw driver.. As they are leaving the field with his lifeless body, he just about pulled a John Lowenstein and raised his fists in the air like he was letting the crown know he wasn't going to die after all.
Then he played the following week like nothing had ever happend. LMAO. You gotta admit, his drama antics are funny.. sory of like Saturday morning cartoons.
