Where are you hearing this from?Comment -
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.Comment -
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.Comment -
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.Comment -
the under is the play tonight .... both offenses are banged up .... 20 16 type game ... best value for meComment -
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..Comment -

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.[/quote......yup...LOCK OF THE DAYComment -
That was not phony. He will take a shot but big ben will likely hinder his team more then helpComment -
49ers haven/t beaten a team as good as the Steelers all year, and as mentioned, added motivation of top seed at stakeComment -
Ben is ACTIVE per Adam SchefterComment -
no way he doesn't play, line would be at at least 6Comment -
doesnt look good but he will startComment -
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....Comment -
ACTIVE yes, but that means just that, he is available. Pinny moved to -3 -111.Comment -
maybe Ben is doing a little rope-a-dope for the cameras?Comment -
Not liking my +125 ML any more, but loving my over 3.5 field goals +130.
Comment -
To clarify, when I say not liking my +125, I mean it no longer has value. I DO still thinks Steelers win though.Comment -
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.Comment -
niners win and cover easily..23-17
Big f\*g is gonna wish he hadnt stepped on the field tonightComment -
Just seen Ben RUNNING!! out on the field...........Comment
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........
