Coach Mike Tomlin said he liked what he saw today from Ben Roethlisberger, who returned to practice for the first time this week after sustaining a right shoulder separation and damaging some ligaments in the AFC wild-card playoff victory in Cincinnati.
Tomlin also said it became apparent All-Pro receiver Antonio Brown was not going to recover in time to play Sunday against the Denver Broncos, which is why he has already been ruled out of the divisional playoff game in Denver.
“He did a nice job,” Tomlin said of Roethlisberger after the Steelers’ final practice of the week.
