4 years agoThe Pittsburgh Steelers placed quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, offensive lineman Jerald Hawkins, running back Jaylen Samuels, and linebacker Vince Williams on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday morning. Roethlisberger was deemed a high-risk close contact, according to a source. Provided he passes COVID-19 tests this week, he would be eligible to come off the list Saturday and play on Sunday against the Bengals. All four players must isolate away from the team for five days and test negative each day for a chance to be cleared on Saturday. This puts Roethlisberger's availability in question as the team gears up to face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 10. If Roethlisberger isn't able to play, Pittsburgh would likely start Mason Rudolph this weekend. If Rudolph does wind up playing, downgrade all fantasy options on the Steelers offense.--Matt T - RotoBaller
