Ben Roethlisberger expects to play for the first time this preseason when the Steelers host the Indianapolis Colts at Heinz Field on Saturday night.
He just doesn’t expect to be out there too long, though.
“I think that’s what it’s going to depend on how well we play, how long we play,” said Roethlisberger. “I’ll probably go two series.”
Roethlisberger said the playing time is about getting the offense fine-tuned in advance of the season opener against the Cleveland Browns on
Sept. 10.
“Looking just to click, move the ball, and pick up first downs,” said Roethlisberger. “Obviously getting in the end zone is always a big deal. We
want to move the ball.”
He will still be without one of his biggest weapons on offense, running back Le’Veon Bell who has yet to sign his franchise tender. Bell hinted
via Twitter that he will be returning to the team on Sept. 1, ahead of the opener.

Here is a video of the interview, some really good responses from Ben. I am going to miss him when he retires. I had my doubts for a couple of years when he was trying to find himself as a man, things got a little
out of hand, but I am glad to see him pull through it all.
