PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers say quarterback Ben Roethlisberger doesn’t have a broken right foot but instead is healing from an aggravation of a previous injury where scar tissue is present.
The Steelers issued a statement Thursday night refuting a Pittsburgh Post–Gazette report that Roethlisberger broke a metatarsal bone in his foot. He has worn a protective boot all week, and has been fitted with a protective game shoe.
Previously, the Steelers said Roethlisberger had a sprained right foot sustained during their 19–16 overtime victory in Buffalo on Sunday.
Roethlisberger was limited in practice Thursday, but said he plans to play Sunday against Baltimore. He has not missed a snap since returning Oct. 17 from his four–game suspension.
Roethlisberger has won his last five starts against the Ravens.
