Ben Roethlisberger Out At Least Weeks With Knee Injury

Sep 27, 2015 7:37 PM

Ben Roethlisberger will miss at least four weeks with a knee injury. 

The Pittsburgh Steelers are guarded optimistic that Roethlisberger didn't suffer a torn ACL.

Roethlisberger was seen on crutches following the game, a 12-6 victory, and is scheduled to have an MRI. 

With 5:35 left in the third quarter, Rams safety Mark Barron sacked Roethlisberger after coming on a blitz, hitting him just below his left knee. Roethlisberger went down and immediately grabbed at the knee before the play was whistled dead.

Michael Vick replaced Roethlisberger at quarterback.

Arian Foster Returns To Practice For First Time Since Hip Surgery

Sep 18, 2015 11:16 AM

Arian Foster returned to practice on Thursday, participating in team drills since undergoing surgery on his groin in August.

Bill O'Brien told reporters this week that Foster wouldn't suit up for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, but the coach hemmed in that prediction on Thursday, saying: "We are slowly incorporating him back into practice. I wouldn't expect him this week but you never know."

Foster went on to say this would be his "best year," something the Texans sorely need after watching their offense struggle against the Chiefs in Week 1.
