PITTSBURGH (AP) — With Ben Roethlisberger returning Sunday against the Browns, the Pittsburgh Steelers are making a change on offense.

Wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders, held out the last three games so fellow rookie Antonio Brown could return kicks, is expected to be among the active players on Sunday.

Uhh, is that it?

Maybe not.

With Roethlisberger under center again for the first time since January, there will be changes all around. There will be more pass blocking responsibilities for a line that has been used primarily to run block. Rashard Mendenhall might have to be content with fewer carries.

And players who were motivated to prove they could win without one of the NFL’s most successful quarterbacks — the Steelers are 3-1 — must prove there won’t be a letdown now that he’s back.
