Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger made a rare offseason appearance on SiruisXM Radio on Thursday and during his interview he sort of updated the rehab of his surgically repaired elbow and how this offseason’s routine is a lot different from his previous offseasons.
“My normal routine is different than this year’s routine for obvious reasons,” Roethlisberger said Thursday morning. “My normal offseason routine is probably never to pick up a football unless I’m throwing with the kids. I believe firmly and letting your arm rest. We throw so many footballs during the course of a season that I might pick up a football, and there are certain circumstances where I’ll take the guys like on a road trip for a weekend, but for the most part I won’t pick up a ball until an OTA or minicamp.
