This is no surprise. First, Roethlisberger is one of the toughest players in the NFL, and if he thinks he can play, he probably will. Beyond that, the injury doesn’t sound like it was ever all that serious. It was a bit of a brief scare, but all signs point to Roethlisberger being more than ready to go against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
