Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will miss the remainder of the 2019 season with an elbow injury.
"Ben
Roethlisberger had an MRI on his right elbow Sunday evening and it was
determined by the Steelers’ medical team that surgery will be required,"
Steelers' coach Mike Tomlin said in a statement on Monday.
“We
expect the surgery will be scheduled for this week. He will be placed
on our Reserve/Injured List and is out for the season.”
Roethlisberger
was hurt at some point during the first half of Sunday’s 28-26 loss to
Seattle at Heinz Field. He was replaced by Mason Rudolph, who completed
12 of 19 passes for 112 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. He
is expected to now become the team’s starter after it traded former
backup quarterback Josh Dobbs to the Jacksonville Jaguars last week.
