Tommy Maddox, former Steelers quarterback, worked out for the Raiders on Wednesday, but the free agent has not been signed.

Ben Roethlisberger had flu-like symptoms during the game that were unrelated to the appendectomy.

Wearing protective padding around his midsection, Ben Roethlisberger returned to Pittsburgh's lineup against the Jaguars on Monday night, barely two weeks after an emergency appendectomy.

Cleared medically 10 days after his appendectomy, Ben Roethlisberger will start at quarterback for the Steelers Monday night in Jacksonville provided he feels up to it and he can perform properly in practice this week, starting today.

Bill Cowher may not decide until this weekend if quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will start Monday night in Jacksonville, even if Roethlisberger already seems to have decided he is playing.

Provided Najeh Davenport is healthy and can show his legs are still strong, Duce Staley's role may vanish.

For the second consecutive year, all 16 games of the NFL's Kickoff Weekend have sold out in advance of the local TV blackout deadline, enabling every game to be televised in the home-team market, the NFL announced.

Former Packers running back Najeh Davenport signed with the Steelers on Friday.

The Steelers needed two big plays from unlikely sources to pull out a season-opening victory behind their backup quarterback.

A near-death experience could not keep Ben Roethlisberger from missing the Steelers' season opener.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward, who has been bothered by a hamstring injury during the preseason, is questionable for the team's regular-season opener Thursday against Miami, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will not start the season opener against Miami on Thursday night after having an emergency appendectomy on Sunday afternoon.
