The Pittsburg Steelers announced this weekend that Ben Roethlisberger's status continues to improve hours before the NFL Monday night's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Roethlisberger suffered a left ankle injury last week against the Cleveland Browns and was limited in practice for the second consecutive day last Saturday.
Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin, says he is feeling confident about his quarterback's chances of playing through his ankle injury, and added that Roethlisberger, who traveled with the team to San Francisco, looked good in practice Saturday, saying that "His ankle was better than it was last Thursday (when he injured it)."
The Steelers had yet to make a decision on Roethlisberger but the outcome of the game between the Ravens and Chargers would also be a key factor for the Steeler’s future. The Ravens' loss means a win by the Steelers take the team to the first place in the AFC North, a scenario that would make Roethlisberger a more suitable player due his experience.
Oddsmakers still favoring the 49ers to win this game by a slight margin (-2.5,-115), however, Inspin's NFL Simulator has the Steelers as a 2 Star Pick, and possible winner for this game.
