Ben Roethlisberger said that he sprained his AC joint and tore some ligaments in his shoulder in the second half against the Cincinnati Bengals after he was sacked by Vontaze Burfict.

“It didn’t hurt when I reached back to throw,” Roethlisberger said of his late-game drive. “But it was pushing forward to throw and then the end of the throw. So I definitely felt like I was shortening up my motion up a little bit, which is why we threw some screens, and couldn’t really get the ball down the field… I think it just more affected how I could throw it.”

Roethlisberger is still trying to work his way back from the injury.

“It’s definitely sore,” Roethlisberger said. “I think it’s a little bit better than it was, but we’re still going to just take it day-by-day.”

Roethlisberger is expected to play against the Denver Broncos in the Divisional Round.
