      I am hearing otherwise:

      Ben Roethlisberger - QB - Steelers
      Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette revealed to NFL Network's Michelle Beisner that the Steelers made the decision before Sunday night's Ravens game that Ben Roethlisberger (ankle) is healthy enough to play and will start at San Francisco.
      49ers beat writers noted that Big Ben was "limping badly" and could "barely walk" while taking the field to try a few short passes in warmups. If not for Roethlisberger's history of playing up injuries, we'd be a lot more concerned that he won't make it through Monday night's game. Regardless, he's going to be without his usual mobility in the pocket.

        From NFL.com:

        Ben Roethlisberger is hampered by an ankle injury, but his coach is feeling pretty good about his QB's chances to play for the Steelers on Monday night.

          It was under this assumption I heard on the radio a few minutes ago; the guy must've been jumping to conclusions.

          So I guess he's in really bad shape. I still don't see how you can gamble and take the Steelers given this information, regardless of whether he starts/plays or not.

              Late line movement. 49ers back up to -3 at Pinny and even 5 Dimes raised the -1 to -150

                Well, Steelers can still win with their defense alone. They know a win tonight practically clinches top seed, and they may not need to score a ton to win.

                  lot of twitter talk about how bad he looks in warmups, he looked like hell getting off the bus but figured he was faking it being the clown he is..

                    I just don't see how this game can be a big wager either way.

                    You're either relying on Ben with one leg against a great defense or Alex Smith against a great defense. Where's the angle?

                        That was not phony. He will take a shot but big ben will likely hinder his team more then help

                          49ers haven/t beaten a team as good as the Steelers all year, and as mentioned, added motivation of top seed at stake

                                  He is starting Coin trust me,how good he will perform is the question........

                                  Batch has had a full week of practice take the majority of the snaps so he should be able to get the job done if needed....

                                    He looked fine to me last week in the second half just minutes after suffering the injury. Its been 11 days since then so if he was able to play then, he'll be able to play now.

                                      ACTIVE yes, but that means just that, he is available. Pinny moved to -3 -111.

                                          maybe Ben is doing a little rope-a-dope for the cameras?

                                            If he truly had a high ankle sprain, that shit doesn't just go away in a week.

                                                that logic is flawed..have you ever had a high ankle sprain? much worse the next day after you have been off it for a while..

                                                  To clarify, when I say not liking my +125, I mean it no longer has value. I DO still thinks Steelers win though.

                                                    He's playing according to ESPN. He won't be as mobile as normal, but I suspect Big Dan is partly correct knowing how much he likes to play to the audience.

                                                      yea my ML is +145, although i also still think they win 13-6 steelers

                                                            He is tuff but a high ankle sprain is a serious injury that will put the average pain tolerant player on the side lines for 4-6 weeks,so being 100% should not even enter ones mind........

                                                              Brett Favre is the toughest QB to ever play with injuries and its not even a debate.
