The bye week appears to have come at a great time for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and that should mean Ben Roethlisberger will only end up missing one game.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Roethlisberger has a chance to play against the Baltimore Ravens Sunday.
So Tomlin said Ben Roethlisberger could play this week. First that's been said by anyone in charge.

We can probably assume that means Roethlisberger is expected to play, otherwise Tomlin would not have said it.
At this point, it appears the early reports about Big Ben missing more than a month after undergoing knee surgery were premature. Despite what one former NFL linebacker may think, Roethlisberger is one of the toughest players in the league and has a long history of playing through injuries. If doctors say he can play, he’ll be ready to go in a very important divisional game.
