Roethlisberger Must Past Tests to Play Sunday, Batch Out Six Weeks

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger will have to pass a series of baseline tests this week in order play next Sunday night in Baltimore.

Roethlisberger left Sunday’s game in OT after suffering an injury that was “concussion oriented,” according to Mike Tomlin.

Third string QB Dennis Dixon will be under center Sunday if “Big Ben” is unable to go. It was reported that Charlie Batch needs wrist surgery and will miss at least the next six weeks.

We reported last night that Roethlisberger was doing better than expected, however.
