Is Ben Roethlisberger Going To Play This Week?
As long as Ben Roethlisberger is cleared in time to travel to Los Angeles on Saturday, he will be starting for the Steelers.
It sure sounds like as long as Ben Roethlisberger is cleared before the #Steelers take off Saturday, and is physically fit enough to play, he will start. Mike Tomlin says the game plan doesn't change from one QB to the other: "It's not like Mason Rudolph runs 4.4."

Roethlisberger is vaccinated, meaning he'll have to produce two negative tests at least 24 hours apart and remain asymptomatic before returning.
When is Ben Roethlisberger Coming Back?
The best-case scenario involves Roethlisberger returning to practice this week. The news of his positive test came out on Saturday and he'll likely need a few days before clearing protocols.
