Half an hour before the Pittsburgh Steelers final training camp ended Thursday, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger unfortunately hurt his foot and was carted off at the end of workout with an ice pack on the back of the ankle.
Roethlisberger, known as the “Big Ben”, led the Steelers to a record sixth Super Bowl victory last season and finished last season 3,301 yards on 281-of-469 passing with 17 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. It was said that offensive tackle Max Starks stepped on the signal-caller's foot, but Roethlisberger was not removed from the field immediately and taken to a hospital. Instead, he was sitting on a cooler before he was carted off. So possibly the injury was no more serious than a sprain and it will not take long before the quarterback wears back his steelers jersey.
The two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback’s injury became the second major mishap of the Steelers’ three-week-old camp after right guard Darnell Stapleton left to undergo a knee surgery. The injury ended abruptly what might have been the best of Roethlisberger’s six NFL training camps and will prevent him from playing in the Steelers’ exhibition game Saturday at Washington.
