PITTSBURGH -- Ben Roethlisberger was back on the Pittsburgh Steelers practice field Thursday.
No, he hasn't made a miraculous recovery from the elbow injury that has ended his season. His right arm was in a sling. Only three days have passed since surgery in Los Angeles.
Players sometimes rehabilitate long-term injuries away from the team, but the Steelers weren't lying earlier this week when they said in a statement that Roethlisberger would immediately begin his recovery in Pittsburgh.
