It 'does not look good' for Big Ben on Sunday

Ben Roethlisberger - QB - Pittsburgh Steelers

Nov. 29, 2012 - 6:20 PM ET

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Ed Bouchette, it "does not look good" for Ben Roethlisberger (ribs, shoulder) to play Sunday at Baltimore.

"In fact, his chances of playing may be less today than they were on Tuesday," added Bouchette, a trusted voice with plenty of connections in the organization. Roethlisberger was limited again in Thursday's practice. Although he and the Steelers are leaving the door open, Big Ben acknowledges that arm strength and range of motion are working against him this week. Roethlisberger is headed toward a game-time decision, with the tea leaves suggesting he will wait one more week to return.
