Roethlisberger was already not expected to play in the team’s preseason game this week against the Packers. The Steelers will hope he does not have a concussion.
The 36-year-old threw for 4,251 yards and 28 touchdowns last season. The team’s offensive coordinator is expecting a big season from him.
