PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger is back on the practice field for the first time since the Steelers’ two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback was suspended six games for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
Roethlisberger is taking part in the fourth week of the Steelers’ five weeks of voluntary practices. He last practiced on April 20, the day before he was disciplined by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. A 20-year-old college student accused him of sexual assault in Milledgeville, Ga., but no charges were filed.
Roethlisberger wasn’t allowed to practice again until he underwent a behavioral evaluation as part of the suspension.
A Steelers spokesman said Roethlisberger will not talk to reporters following Tuesday’s practice.
