One day after coach Mike Tomlin declared Ben Roethlisberger “questionable” for Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, the Steelers announced on their web site that Byron Leftwich will start.
Here is what appeared this morning on Steelers.com:
Quarterback Byron Leftwich will start Sunday night against the Baltimore Ravens at Heinz Field, replacing injured Ben Roethlisberger.
Roethlisberger sprained the sternoclavicular (SC) joint in his right shoulder against the Kansas City Chiefs when he was sacked by linebacker Justin Houston in the third quarter.
Leftwich replaced Roethlisberger, going 7-for-14 for 73 yards.
This will be Leftwich’s first start for the Steelers. His last start came in 2009 when he started three games while with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
