Twitter updates are basically saying that he threw the ball well and was relatively pain free in the process. You know that dude wants to play but the reality is that the Steelers are probably going to play it safe and bring him back for the Cincy game.
Ben ramps up as Steelers pump up Landry

Ben Roethlisberger was listed as a limited participant in the Steelers’ practice Wednesday afternoon on the South Side, but two of his offensive cohorts were unrestrained about seeing their No. 1 quarterback increase his workload, as he’d said he would this morning.
“It was good hearing his voice in the huddle,” Le’Veon Bell said. “We’re all obviously really excited, but we’ve got to see where his knee is.”
Roethlisberger tried out a handful of braces for his sprained and bruised left knee, but, Martavis Bryant said, it didn’t affect his accuracy in 11-on-11 drills.
“Great to see him back out there,” the second-year receiver said. “He looked great. He was dropping the ball in my hands.”
Not sure if it means anything . . .Ben took a 3 step drop out of sim shotgun in that video. Landry and Murphy took longer, under-center sim snaps. I agree on erring on the side of caution. Would like to see Jones start with Ben as emergency or Murphy added to the active roster to be the back up.
If he's not ready for the Bengals, hold him out until Week 10 vs. the Browns where he can get his feet under him before the tough part of the schedule.
