Roethlisberger misses practice again
Thursday, December 13, 2007

PITTSBURGH (AP) Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger missed practice again Thursday because of a sore right shoulder, with Charlie Batch running the starting offense in his place.

On Tuesday, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Roethlisberger's problem wasn't a major one and, "I don't want to make more out of it than what it is."

The Steelers haven't updated Roethlisberger's condition since then. Tomlin said Roethlisberger's status would be updated Friday.

It is common for Steelers players who have relatively minor injuries to miss a day or two of practice, then take part in the final practice of the week Friday and play on Sunday.

Batch hasn't started a game since the 2006 opener, when he threw three touchdown passes in a 28-17 victory over Miami. Roethlisberger, who missed that game after having appendicitis, has started each of the Steelers' 28 games since then.

Batch has done well in relief before, you would hate to see Big Ben be hurt for the playoffs. Jags are without Peterson and now Stroud. It will be a big Willie P and najeh day is what im guessing
