Despite his injured ankle, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger insists on playing in the Pro Bowl this coming Sunday.
It has been said on www.nfl.com that the nine-year veteran was seen slightly favoring his injured ankle during the AFC’s team practice on Wednesday, but Roethlisberger says he feels alright.
“Not bad,” Roethlisberger said about his ankle. “Lots of time to rest. Still a little swollen, but it’s all right.”
Roethlisberger does think that this is a risk worth taking, considering that he may not play much anyway.
“We’ve rested it long enough now,” he said. “Coaches know. It’s not one of those games where I’m going to have to scramble away from people. It’ll hopefully be a quick in and out.”
This will be Roethlisberger’s second appearance in the Pro Bowl in his career.
