A Ben Roethlisberger update: He will see his doctors in LA Feb. 21 and hopes to get clearance to start throwing tennis balls and other light objects. He remains confident he will be ready for the Steelers' offseason work in May. Roethlisberger had elbow surgery Sept. 23.

It isn’t the update we’ve all been waiting for but it’s something. Steelers beat writer Ron Cook offered something of an update on the injured elbow and continued recovery of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
Cook reminded us of what we already knew. Late February Roethlisberger will return to his doctor and will get something more official in terms of a timetable for recovery including starting to throw.
Roethlisberger suffered a season-ending elbow injury in the second game of the regular season. The hope is that Big Ben will be healthy enough to start offseason work when the team gets back together in May. Without Roethlisberger in the lineup, the offense fell off in a huge way.
