Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger returned to practice today, wearing a wrap on his left knee, the only sign of the “injury” from Wednesday’s practice. And teammate Willie Parker revealed that it was a collision between the running back and quarterback that caused the temporary problem that led to Roethlisberger limping off the practice field Wednesday. “Actually, me and him bumped knees on a certain play,” Parker said. Parker then laughed as he said, “But he’s definitely all right and he’s a competitor. I guess he just likes a lot of attention sometimes and he likes being the little baby, but Ben is definitely a warrior.”
Roethlisberger was limping due to left knee discomfort during an optional team practice Wednesday, but did not appear to be injured.
He left the field during the Steelers’ morning practice after the problem developed, and was examined along the sideline by trainer John Norwig. Roethlisberger apparently did not need any medical attention and began stretching his leg before practice ended.
Neither Roethlisberger nor coach Mike Tomlin discussed Roethlisberger’s problem.
