Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger expects to play despite bruised elbow

PITTSBURGH -- Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger does not expect to miss game time because of his bruised right elbow.

"I don't plan on it," said Roethlisberger from his locker Wednesday in advance of the Week 2 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. "Maybe just today but that's a typical Wednesday for me."

Roethlisberger, who often gets a veteran day off during Wednesday's practice, hurt his elbow on the second-to-last offensive play during the Steelers' 21-21 overtime tie with the Cleveland Browns. Roethlisberger did not comment on whether he received an MRI.
