Fragile Ben Banged Up

[Obviously]

Ben stood on the practice field today and took mental reps.

Afterward he took part in a yoga class.

Looks like Old McDonald is going to play. Practiced two days in a row, a record.

Great, so now he's fatigued.

We need an over/under on how many quarters before he goes back down. I say midway through the 3rd.

[steelergenie]

That sounds about right if not sooner!

Hammy tweak in the second quarter. Book it.

[Scunge]

You guys are hilarious. Me? I am expecting a 100 yard game and 1 TD from McDonald.

[steelergenie]

You are a fountain of optimism Scunge. Old Mcs record says otherwise.

[jeemie]

You guys are hilarious. Me? I am expecting a 100 yard game and 1 TD from McDonald.

And THEN a hammy tweak on a meaningless play when the game is no longer in question.

[steelergenie]

How accurate and effective he'll be is the question.

Jeremy Fowler
ESPN Staff Writer
JuJu Smith-Schuster said he expects Ben Roethlisberger to be "out there playing with your boys" Sunday vs. the Chiefs.

[steelergenie]

Head coach Mike Tomlin said, via Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, that Roethlisberger was a full participant in practice as the team closed their week of preparations for the Chiefs. Tomlin didn’t offer any further comment and said the injury report would provide any other update on the quarterback’s status.
Whatever the designation, his return to action Friday seems like a pretty good sign that he’ll be playing against Kansas City. The outlook for cornerback Joe Haden and right guard David DeCastro is less clear after they missed practice this week.

[Orangesteel]

I’ll take it! Let’s goooooo

That could happen, of course. And then he´ll tweak his knee..

It could happen. 2 catches for 18 yards, one td, and 82 yards on the cart as he's taken into the locker room.

How do you guys do it week in and week out?


I need some guidance, because if we lose this game tomorrow I think it will be a downward spiral with all the drama.


I'm putting this entire game on Ben. The KC defense sucks, Ben is at home coming off a disaster of a game. He needs to earn his fucking money.

You can add me to that list, I'm riding.

We can beat the Chiefs tomorrow.

Yes we can.

I would pay a lot of coin to eat the Big Ben crow for dinner tomorrow night.

His d might give up 40, so it’s going to be a challenge, even with his pay grade.

I do think, however, that if the steelers lose this week, it’s not good, but it’s also not the end of the world. They will get healthier and better as the year goes on, they recovered from the Bears game last year! From the 1st Jags game... this wouldn’t be as unexpected as either of those. KC might be the best team in football right now.

For the third consecutive year, Finney will step into the starting lineup due to an injury. He filled in for Ramon Foster the past two years. This year, he’ll start at right guard for David DeCastro, who is officially listed as doubtful but is not going to be able to play due to a fractured bone in his right hand. http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/stee ... 1809140177

I guess Feiler isn't up to the task?

[Kodiak]

They are like the anti-Steelers......start strong and fade every year.

I did NOT like seeing KC on the schedule Wk2. Thank goodness the league so generously gave us a 5th preseason tune-up before meeting KC

Dianna Russini of ESPN reports that Roethlisberger will play tomorrow against the Chiefs.
