‘Same old Ben’ at Steelers training camp

LATROBE, Pa. (AP) — Tight spiral after tight spiral. Repeated deep balls lofted deftly into the waiting hands of a receiver not breaking stride.

Ben Roethlisberger has looked as sharp as ever during practices throughout much of this Pittsburgh Steelers training camp this summer.

The two-time Super Bowl champion appears anything like a quarterback who’s being bothered by a shoulder injury — as teammates, coaches and even Big Ben himself can attest to.

“He looks like the same old Ben to me, which is a great quarterback,” veteran tight end Heath Miller said. “Nothing new on that front.”

Roethlisberger revealed on Wednesday that he sustained a slight tear in his right rotator cuff during a game last November. The revelation caused a mid-afternoon stir at St. Vincent College Wednesday before Roethlisberger later assured, “It’s a serious non-issue, because I’m just fine.”
