Big Ben Hurt? (1 Viewer)

9/9: It has been revealed that Ben Roethlisberger sustained a shoulder injury Sunday against Houston, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He sustained the injury when he hit the turf on a sack by Mario Williams.

 
Mario did to BB on that one play what the Steelers did to the Texans all day long. It's a testament to Roeth's size and toughness that he was able to stay in the game because he was driven hard into the turf.

 
:sehorn:Throwing shoulder?
Pretty sure it was his left shoulder.
If you are correct, then I have little worries. Ben is tough dude.
You should be worried. The Steelers have a history of playing Ben when he isn't fully healthy, resulting in poor play, a loss, and then he winds up on the sidelines anyway. Don't forget the playoff loss to the Jaguars last January. he had NO business playing. He was so beat up. But they played him anyway and he was terrible and lost the game.I'd expect the Steelers to play him if they can, but he might be awful.
 
At halftime CBS showed Leftwich warming up and it appeared he was gonna come into the game but he didnt. He may have gotten hurt on the sack that forced the fumble. Not sure.

Not at all. Remember a couple years ago? They brought Ben back way too early after his motorcycle wreck and he was terrible. Only several months later did the coaching staff come back and say "yah we rushed him back before he was healthy".Or go back to his rookie year. He was injured going into the playoffs but the coaching staff played him anyway, and it NEARLY cost them the Jets game and DID cost them the Patriots game.They always do this. They play him when he can't perform.

On the bright side, it really doesn't matter this week. It's not like they're playing against a real NFL team anyhow. Ben throwing lefthanded, Lefty with a full windup or Dixon's first ever NFL game---the result is still a win. Besides, if I recall correctly, didn't they win all those games during Ben's rookie year "in spite of" him?

The Guy is fragile. I am surprised he does not stub his toe every time he walks. I avoid that dude like the plague.

Fragile, are you serious? The guy got beat around like a pinata all year last year in the pocket and always got back up. You've either never watched a Steeler game or you're :shrug:
