Ben Roethlisberger is plotting a comeback.

The 38-year-old Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback opened up to SiriusXM NFL Radio's Bruce Gradkowski and Bruce Murray about his "tough" season-ending elbow injury that he suffered in Week 2 last season:

"It was tough on the sidelines this year. It was because all of us are competitors, right? We all want to be out there. ... And as a quarterback, you feel like, that's my team out there and I wanna be out there leading my guys. ... So when you can't do that, that's so hard and it just tugs at you.
