"Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has a torn meniscus in left knee and will have surgery Monday morning. No timetable for his return."

"The Steelers have bye week after Sunday's game against Patriots. It's possible Roethlisberger could be back for the Baltimore game Nov. 6."

Didn't AB kick arse last year even with Roethlisberger out?

Torn meniscus and you think he's gonna be back this year? Lemme guess you're still rostering AP too. frick this. I'm fricked. I have AB and just traded for Coates. They better make Mettenberger the started because Landry Jones is terrible

Bro, you dumb.

From Dr. Chao:
Torn meniscus for @_BigBen7 likely means return in 1-3 weeks.
@Steelers fans should feel relief with confirmation of no bigger injury.

The only meniscus tear that keeps them out the whole year is if it is a bucket handle type of tear where the meniscus flips

If it isn't flipped, they will shave off the torn part and he will be back soon. He will have early arthritis but that will be down the line.

Another tweet from Dr. Chao

"My comments about #BigBen meniscus tear are based on @RonCookPG & video.
Not going to be #AP situation of long term absence"

Yeah, I remember people complaining about not scoring td's, but I thought I remember him still getting a shite load of yards and being the complete focal point of that offense.

I am a physician, and I can follow Dr. Chao's comments.

"Arthroscopy will NOT end @_BigBen7 season.
Knee was not locked, thus meniscus trim not repair.
Quick recovery for @Steelers. 1-3 weeks."
