Pittsburgh Steelers star Ben Roethlisberger indicated he plans to continue playing in 2020 after suffering a season-ending elbow injury.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed Monday that Roethlisberger will miss the remainder of the year, leading some to wonder whether the 37-year-old would walk away from the NFL altogether. He released a statement on the team's official website ruling out that possibility:
"I've been informed that I need season ending surgery on my elbow to continue playing football at the level I expect. This is shocking and heartbreaking for me, to miss this much of a season and feel like I am letting down so many people.
