Ben Roethlisberger: Steelers QB Undergoing Tests on Injured Foot

Ben Roethlisberger's foot took a nasty twist during a tackle in Sunday's game, and now the Steelers quarterback is undergoing tests to see how bad it was injured.

Whatever the injury is, it's unlikely it will keep Roethlisberger out of this week's game versus the Baltimore Ravens, as he played the rest of the game on Sunday.

Unless it's some kind of hairline fracture, you can bet Roethlisberger will be playing in a game that will determine sole possession of the AFC North.

The Steelers lost the first game versus the Ravens earlier this season 17-14, but that was without Roethlisberger at the helm, and that was a close game that could've gone either way.

The Steelers offense needs Roethlisberger, and they need him to be mobile as the offensive line isn't exactly an elite unit and relying on Rashard Mendenhall and the running game versus the Baltimore Ravens isn't a great game plan.

That isn't a knock on Mendenhall, but it is showing respect for the Ravens defense. However, Peyton Hillis ran all over the Ravens earlier in the season when the Ravens played the Browns, so there is hope for the Steelers running game.
