Ahead of the game, Ben Roethlisberger is addressing his playing future and how he feels about getting back on the field after missing much of last year due to injury.
"I don't know. Guys always throw out how long they want to play till, I don't know," Roethlisberger said. "I honor my contract, but, and I know it's got one more year on it, but I'm going to give this season everything I have, especially since I didn't get to play last year."

Roethlisberger says he is excited for the start of the season, but also nervous since it will be so different without fans in the stands.
He says he expects to have to shake off some "rust" when he starts playing Monday night.
