QB Ben Roethlisberger dealing with pectoral issue as injury list grows for Pittsburgh Steelers

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers added a significant name to their list of injured players Tuesday: Ben Roethlisberger.

Coach Mike Tomlin said the quarterback was dealing with a left pectoral injury, but said he didn't know how it happened. It wasn't publicly disclosed during postgame interviews with Tomlin or Roethlisberger.

"I don't know specifically when Ben got injured in game," Tomlin said. "I don't know that he does. You know, sometimes just in the midst of competition, adrenaline and so forth, you just don't know. Sometimes things just come up after."

Roethlisberger took just two sacks in the loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, but he was hit 10 times.
