Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw Saturday for the first time since having surgery on his injured elbow in September.
Roethlisberger estimates he will receive full clearance in two to three months. While 2020 will be his age 38 season, he is entrenched as the Steelers’ QB1. If last season was any indication, the team lacks his successor and will hope to keep him healthy if they plan to contend in 2020.
Ben Roethlisberger on doctor visit Friday: "It was a good report. 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!

Ben Roethlisberger on throwing a football Saturday for the first time since his elbow surgery: "It felt amazing to throw. It was hard to hold the smile in. 2 more throwing sessions while I’m out here in California and then headed back to the burgh."
