Ben Roethlisberger is back to throwing after elbow surgery

Big bearded Ben is back to throwing five months after he was shut down for the season due to an elbow injury.

The Pittsburgh Steelers shared a short clip of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger — though it’s easy to miss the identity at first — throwing a football at the Pittsburgh Sports Performance Center on Saturday.

Roethlisberger, 37, had surgery on his right elbow in late September after suffering a non-contact injury to it during a Week 2 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Per ESPN’s Brooke Pryor, he was scheduled to have a “significant check-up” on the elbow Friday in Los Angeles.
