I got that off a Steeler message board, they are saying hes in surgery, not sure for what.

 

[BustedKnuckles]

Boy oh boy it must be a slow day around here

 

[Traders2001]

Wow is he a surgeon now , how can he manage both careers.

 

[TD32]

Practice is over in about 20 minutes, we shall see.

 

[Bristol]

From blackandgoldinsider.com:

BlackandGoldInsider.com will update you later this evening, but right now close sources tell us that Ben Roethlisberger is highly unlikely to play this Thursday against Miami in the season opener.

We are hearing that he is in surgury as we speak (nothing to related to Motorcycle Accident).

Well this is certainly more interesting than I first thought it would be,

[flranger]

Good lord I'm going to catch hell for this one. I swear I just traded away Big Ben an hour before reading this post. The guy I traded him to is going to think I knew something. Kinda sucks. Oh well, better him than me.

I can see him now:

He got:

Big Ben

Thomas Jones

McCardell

Wiggins

I got:

Vick

TJ Houshmazillymamamazahdadah

McMicheal

I have a hard time taking the word of someone who can't even spell surgery.

Even if Big Ben is healthy you still got the better end of the deal. TJ and McMichael are huge upgrades. I would try to trade Vick he is overrated

 

[chris1969]

quietly waits for the volek to Pitt rumors to start

 

[elshagon]

if he's out time to hit the waiver wire for me. I have Favre as my other qb, but just can't see starting him against Chicago. If it's his appendix I wonder how long he'll be out.

Well, it wasn't him - it was the source he quoted.

 

[Billy1x]

He lost some teeth in the wreck. Maybe just some dental work.

Old story from NFL.com...Boerigter has appendix removed NFL.com wire reports RIVER FALLS, Wis. (July 28, 2002) -- Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mark Boerigter fell ill during training camp and had his appendix removed early on July 28. Boerigter was treated at a Minneapolis hospital, and the Chiefs said he might be able to return to practice as early as Aug. 2. "We talked to the doctors," coach #### Vermeil said. "It wasn't bad. He'll be fine. This was just a normal operation. They said he was in such great shape, it was relatively a minor operation. They said he could jog tomorrow."Eric Coleman (DB-Jets) just had an appendectomy and missed around 10 days of practice. Returned to the starting lineup after two weeks.

Boy oh boy it must be a slow day around here

[Mark Wimer]

Someone, anyone with a link to Pittsburgh local sports-talk radio station available online? So we can hear the press conference?

Please advise

 

[TheBradyBunch]

Rumor on Pitt MB also says it's appendicitis which could put him out for 2-3 games (their words). Cowher PC at 5:45 which is about right now.

This is just great. The Steelers are one hit away from Omar Jacobs as their QB.

Practice squad. Pretty sure they'll re-sign him now.

I'm guessing that he returns for the week 2 game. They'll skate by the Dolphins at home during week one so this shouldn't effect their season at all.

2 weeks is pretty short for an appendectomy, heres hoping though.
