7 years agoPittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will sit out the team's preseason opener this Thursday against the Eagles. Head coach Mike Tomlin plans to play backup quarterbacks Landry Jones, Josh Dobbs and third-round rookie Mason Rudolph. It's not a surprise for the veteran Big Ben to sit out of preseason game. He's aging and is at risk of injury even more so than ever, but Roethlisberger still has one of the best running backs (Le'Veon Bell) and wide receivers (Antonio Brown) at his disposal. If you decide to wait on the position, he's not a bad low-end QB1.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
