Roethlisberger says he feared he was seriously injured after he heard a popping sound when teammate Max Starks accidentally stepped on his right foot during practice last week. "It is a pretty scary thing to have a 300-pound guy step on the back of your foot, on your Achilles,'' Roethlisberger said Wednesday.
Impacts: Roethlisberger apparently bruised his Achilles' tendon - the team has not disclosed details - during the final minutes of the Steelers' final training camp practice at Saint Vincent College on Thursday. Roethlisberger missed Saturday's exhibition game at Washington, but returned to practice on Tuesday. Coach Mike Tomlin said the quarterback is "fine'' and will play as long as the starters do in Saturday's preseason game against Buffalo.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting that Ben Roethlisberger discussed his injury with the media on Wednesday for the first time since going down. Roethlisberger said that the injury is just a bruise, but when it happened both he and his teammates thought it was going to be much more serious.
Our View: The Steelers are lucky that it wasn't more serious, because they would have been in big trouble without Big Ben. He is expected to start the next preseason game, so anyone who has already drafted him should feel free to exhale, and those with drafts coming up shouldn't let the injury concern you.

News: Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger injured his right ankle or foot during the last half-hour of the team's final training camp practice. It was not immediately certain how badly he was hurt or how long he would be out. Roethlisberger had an ice pack on the back of the ankle when he was carted off at the end of Thursday's workout, with offensive coordinator Bruce Arians accompanying him. Roethlisberger didn't talk to reporters, but he could be overheard saying, "Oh it just feels great. It feels like a car ran over it." Coach Mike Tomlin declined to talk to reporters. Team spokesman Dave Lockett said only, "Someone stepped on his foot, and we don't have any updates other than that." As the Steelers' starting offense practiced against the starting defense, left tackle Max Starks couldn't handle a rush from linebacker James Harrison, the 2008 NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Starks went down to one knee as he tripped Roethlisberger, who stayed on the turf for about 5 minutes. Roethlisberger didn't tell any teammates how he felt, though he could be heard saying, "I'll be all right." [...]

Some Observers Fear Possible Achilles' Injury
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has injured his right ankle.Roethlisberger had an ice pack on the back of the ankle when he was carted off at the end of Thursday's practice on Pittsburgh's final day of training camp.Left tackle Max Starks couldn't handle a rush from linebacker James Harrison, the 2008 NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Starks went down on a knee and tripped Roethlisberger, who stayed on the turf for about 5 minutes. Roethlisberger spent the rest of practice sitting on a cooler, then he was carted off. (ESPN)
FF Today's Take: It goes without saying that Roethlisberger is key to the Steelers' offense as well as their hopes to repeating as Super Bowl champions. Behind Pittsburgh's below-average pass-blocking line, Big Ben's size allows him to shake off defenders more often than QBs like Drew Brees or Peyton Manning actually get sacked. If this injury turns out to be serious, Charlie Batch will likely step in and the entire offense will take a slight fantasy hit as a result.

Steelers | Motion filed to dismiss Roethlisberger lawsuit
The Associated Press reports a former Harrah's employee has filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit that accuses Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger of raping another worker and alleges that managers of the Lake Tahoe hotel-casino covered up the assault. Stacy Dingman, the former director of hotels at Harrah's, is one of nine defendants named in the lawsuit filed last month. She said she is the former best friend of the woman who claims Roethlisberger raped her during a celebrity golf tournament in July 2008. The 31-year-old woman said in her civil suit that when she reported the incident to Harrah's security, she was told she was overreacting and that she should not pursue a complaint, partly because Roethlisberger is friends with John Koster, president of Harrah's northern Nevada operations. The woman's lawsuit claims Dingman and Koster were among those who conspired to cover up the alleged incident. The suit seeks a minimum of $440,000 in damages from Roethlisberger, at least $50,000 in damages from the Harrah's officials and an unspecified amount of punitive damages.

Roethlisberger admits to it and says his arm isn't as strong as he'd like it to be, which is normal for him for this time of year. He adds that it usually takes him a week before his arm improves. "It's frustrating at times, I think I have a pick every day in practice because my arm is not where I want it to be yet," said Roethlisberger. "Trying to make the throws I can make later in the year that I try to do now, my arm is not ready for it. ... I don't throw a lot before I come into this for that reason, I don't want to get worn down late in the year. It just takes a couple of days to get into it." [...]
