Ben Roethlisberger Dealing With Hip Issues
3 years agoPittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (hip) has a hip issue after the Week 4 loss to the Green Bay Packers. This is now the second injury for Roethlisberger early this year, as he was has also dealt with a left pectoral injury that has caused him to miss some practice time early in the week. Don't be surprised if Big Ben sits out several practices again this week and over the course of the season as they look to keep the 39-year-old on the field on Sundays. Roethlisberger has gone over 300 yards just once in four games, and he has as many touchdowns (four) as interceptions while being sacked 10 times. He currently ranks as the 27th QB in terms of fantasy points and should be considered a shaky low-end QB2 in superflex leagues against a strong Denver Broncos defense in Week 5.
