| 2nd July, 2006 - 3:28 am |  Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger is recovering ahead of schedule, and is expected to begin throwing next week for the first time since injuring himself in a motorcycle accident June 5.
He's expected to be ready for the start of training camp July 28, but the Steelers are going to take a slow approach because of the head and facial trauma he received from his accident. Another good sign for the 24-year-old is that he hasn't suffered from blurred or double vision. He's also been able to eat soft food and potatoes, despite five titanium plates holding his jaw in place, thereby allowing him to maintain his body weight of 242 pounds, almost exactly his playing weight from last year.
