Kevin Colbert raised some eyebrows when he floated the idea Ben Roethlisberger could come back from major elbow surgery better than before it. But Roethlisberger seems to be saying the same thing, telling the Post-Gazette’s Ron Cook his elbow feels pain free for the first time in years.
“I’m throwing without pain for the first time in years,” he told Cook. “Some games, I would have a little pain. But in the New England game and the Seattle game [last season], it got to be too much.”
After his season-ending elbow surgery, some Steelers said Roethlisberger complained of pain in his elbow after the Week 1 loss to New England.
