Roethlisberger Will Start Against Ravens
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is officially starting against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday afternoon.
Roethlisberger's status has been up in the air, but the Steelers have now confirmed that he will be starting.
Landry Jones will be the back-up quarterback.
Multiple reports in the past week suggested that Roethlisberger would recover in time for the game.
Roethlisberger left a game against the Miami Dolphins in the second quarter on Oct. 16. He returned in the third quarter, but he underwent surgery the following day for a torn meniscus. Initial reports suggested recovery could take 4 - 6 weeks.
The Steelers were reportedly still assessing whether or not Roethlisberger would be active just hours before the start of the game.
The game kicks off at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore at 1 p.m. Sunday.
