PITTSBURGH -- Ben Roethlisberger said he had a setback during the third quarter last Sunday at Cleveland, but the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback did not appear to be limping too much in the locker room or during practice Wednesday afternoon.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin noted that while Roethlisberger might be limited early this week, his left high-ankle sprain shouldn't affect his availability against the Denver Broncos in their wild-card playoff game Sunday at 4:30 p.m. at Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium in Denver, Colo. Tomlin also said the injury was no worse than it was going into the Browns game.
I felt really good going into the Cleveland game, but I had a little setback going into the third quarter,'' Roethlisberger said. "So, we're working really hard with the trainers just to get back to where we were going into the Cleveland game, because I felt pretty good going in and moved around pretty good. So, we had a little setback, but we'll get moving. We got set back about a week.
"I don't know if I hit the ground wrong or got hit, but we'll see. We'll be all right. When I play bad, there's a reason for it, whether it's turnovers or incomplete passes or something else.
