Roethlisberger among Steelers battling injuries
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, cornerback Joe Haden and guard David Decastro could all miss practice time after getting dinged up in a season-opening tie in Cleveland.
Roethlisberger is dealing with a right (throwing) elbow issue, Haden has a hamstring problem, and Decastro fractured one of his hands during the four-hour marathon in a monsoon.
Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that he will monitor their participation before making any sort of judgment on whether they will be available when the Chiefs visit Heinz Field on Sunday.
The injuries don’t appear to be serious, with Haden the most likely candidate to sit out.
