ESPN's Bob Holtzman reported a source close to the Pittsburgh Steelers told him that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has "less than a 50-percent chance" to play in Week 13. Roethlisberger has a dislocated rib and is currently not able to throw the football very well or without significant pain. He also has a sprained shoulder and both injuries have been described as having a "very high risk of reinjury." The Steelers travel to Baltimore in Week 13. The Ravens narrowly beat Pittsburgh two weeks ago, 13-10. Source: FFToolbox.com Attached Thumbnails
