Doctors are concerned that Ben Roethlisberger's rib injury could lead to more internal damage if he were to play Sunday.

Rib?

Ravens (-2.5, 42) at Steelers

Ben Roethlisberger will not play Sunday night. This game opened Pitt -4 and was -3.5 later Sunday night. But it reopened Baltimore -1.5 Tuesday, and the Ravens were immediately bet up to -2.5 and then to -3 (even) at one point. UNDER took a bit of action, as the total was adjusted down from 42.5.

Take the Ravens and the under. Sheez.

$140 for a silk screened replica? Aside from the jersey being an eyesore, that's $140 for a replica.

With prices like that, who does the NFL think they are, the NHL?

does anyone really think that some tyler palko esque schlep would be a better option as a 3rd qb than charlie batch?

KTK knows better than to bad mouth tyler effing palko.

I've had the Fan on for 45 minutes, for the first time in probably 2-3 weeks. Apparently its one huge slap in the face to Pittsburgh and all its hard working, blue collar residents that the 3rd string Quarterback isnt starting over the 2nd string quarterback. This city needs to get a freakin grip

Ed Bouchette ‏@EdBouchette
#Steelers Ben Roethlisberger has a rare rib injury that could kill him by pressing against his aorta. Too big risk. Has to wait until heals

[shafnutz05]

With my limited medical knowledge, that is far, far worse news than a sprained SC joint. That will take weeks to heal....all the best to Ben though.

INB4 OH GAWD BEN'S BEING DRAMATIC AGAIN

[mac5155]

I dont know when Bouchette tweeted that or that information became available but Tim Benz called that one this morning at 7:00 am.

[shafnutz05]

Haven't been on Twitter all day

[mac5155]

He was saying that on the X this morning, and said someone else had a similar issue but I cant remember who.

Brett Favre....and he never played again

[DudeMan2766]

I was really looking forward to The Decision when his baby was born, too

Actually, Ben was quoted* as saying he was told the only other documented incidence of this type of injury was a rugby player in 1998.

*Someone listening to the Fan or some other sports talk thing told me this. I didn't hear it.

[mac5155]

I heard the X mention Favre but they also mentioned someone coming off the field and slamming their helmet down, then having to be sedated while they popped the bone back into place. Was that also Favre?

Amendola on the Rams had something similar...broken clavicle.

Favre was sedated but it had nothing to do with his injury

[ulf]

Pretty sure favre didn't have this injury.

[pittsoccer33]

Wouldn't Palko be better than this bum?

[Dickie Dunn]

Pretty sure favre didn't have this injury.

He had the same shoulder injury as Ben. Its what caused his consecutive games streak to end.

[ulf]

I was talking rib injury

[Letang Is The Truth]

Does he have a shoulder injury AND a rib injury?

[llipgh2]

Does he have a shoulder injury AND a rib injury?

Yes. Separated shoulder. Dislocated rib. Both happened on the same hit.
