PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger is taking nearly all the snaps with the regulars, and apparently will do so until the Pittsburgh Steelers’ voluntary practices end next week.
What coach Mike Tomlin isn’t saying is how snaps will be divided during training camp, when the Steelers will be in the unique position of preparing two starting quarterbacks for the same season.
They must get one quarterback ready to play during Roethlisberger’s six-game suspension, but also give Roethlisberger plenty of work because he can’t practice during his suspension.
Tomlin has given considerable thought to how the camp practices will run, but he isn’t ready to divulge that plan.
Byron Leftwich took most of the practice snaps during the five weeks when Roethlisberger was barred from practicing, but he worked mostly with the backups on Wednesday.
