The ball is in Ben Roethlisberger's lap.

Cleared medically 10 days after his appendectomy, Roethlisberger will start at quarterback for the Steelers Monday night in Jacksonville provided he feels up to it and he can perform properly in practice this week, starting today.

Coach Bill Cowher listed Roethlisberger as questionable for the game, which supposedly means he has a 50 percent chance of playing. Roethlisberger did some work two days ago and threw the ball yesterday. He has four practices to show he's ready to resume his starting role.

The good thing is that they played on thursday and now play on moday. What a big difference that makes.

Yeah i hope 11 days is enough time to prepare.

Marcus Stroud, John Henderson, and Mike Peterson will be waiting for him.

Well santonio will have a few catches, he made a really nice 3rd down one last week, but his job is mostly KR, with Willie Reid doing PR. I have high expectations for holmes and expect big things for him, not so much now as in the future. Theyll take it slow with him, but i want to see him in open field to...the guy has amazing ability.
