Tomlin Won’t Say If Roethlisberger Will Start or Come Off the Bench

There’s been a determination that Ben Roethlisberger will see time under center on Saturday night in the new Meadowlands Stadium vs the Giants, but as to if he will start or not, that is still up in the air.

“It’s not finalized of yet, no,” Mike Tomlin said. “Similar to last week, some of those decisions are made last minute in the preseason. That’s just how it goes.”

It would make sense for Ben to start, as he worked with the starting offense most of this week at training camp. The Steelers want Roethlisberger to get some work during the preseason because he cannot play or practice with the team once his suspension begins. His punishment is expected to be cut to four games before the season starts.
