Ben Roethlisberger missed nearly all of 2019 with an elbow injury but believes he will be ready to play within a few months after a positive checkup with the doctor.

"It was a good report," the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback said Sunday, per Ron Cook of the Post-Gazette. "I got to bypass the tennis ball throwing for a month and go right to the football. Still going to be about 2.5-3 months until I get total clearance from doc, but we are doing good!"

Roethlisberger underwent surgery in September, ending his season after just two games and zero touchdown passes.
