Big news for Pittsburgh Steelers’ fans today. Ben Roethlisberger still has a long road to being fully recovered from his season-ending elbow injury, but he took a big step today, resuming throwing for the first time. The team posted a clip of Roethlisberger throwing in a gym.
Roethlisberger met with doctors in California yesterday for a check-up on his rehab. The hope was to begin clearing him to throw, which clearly they did, a great sign for his progress. It should be noted that’s a football too, not a tennis ball or “small object,” which was the reported next step weeks ago.
