Ben Roethlisberger will start Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans, according to Mike Bires of the Beaver County Times. Roethlisberger was a full participant in practice Thursday despite a sprained foot suffered during last week's loss to the Houston Texans. He is reportedly "full systems go" according to Bires.
Ben Roethlisberger Injury: Steelers QB Practices, Expected To Play
The news wasn’t entirely unexpected. When an MRI taken Monday revealed that there was no fracture in his left foot, few expected the tough-as-nails QB to sit out.
Still, Roethlisberger's healthy outlook is great news for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who will face a Titans defense giving up a league-low 14 points per game. Roethlisberger will have his work cut out for him against a secondary that has allowed just one touchdown pass this year, compared to five passes picked off.
