Big Ben's status for week 3

Roethlisberger played despite reports (erroneous according to HC Mike Tomlin) that Big Ben had a separated shoulder.

Tomlin says Roethlisberger has a sprained AC joint and that he will play Sunday vs the Eagles, even though he won't practice Wednesday.

"I have no idea where that report came from," Tomlin said. "It didn't come from me or my medical staff. If anybody in here has got any information about where that report came from, send them to me."

According to Tomlin, "he said it feels better than it did a week ago" so there's no reason to believe he won't play in week 3 after completing 12 of 19 passes in week 2.
