Saturday afternoon the Pittsburgh Steelers will fly across the country to take on the Los Angeles Chargers. But the team won’t know if starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is going to be able to join them until shortly before take-off.

Roethlisberger has spent the last week on the Reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive last Saturday. Big Ben has been working with the coaches via Zoom and playing shouldn’t be an issue in terms of preparation. This is assuming the COVID-19 test he takes today comes back negative.

If Rothlisberger cannot go again this week it will be a second-straight start for Mason Rudolph.

The Steelers have a much better chance of getting the season back on track is Roethlisberger plays but this situation is entirely outside of the team’s control. But we wanted to ask you all, do you think Roethlisberger will get his negative test and be able to play on Sunday.
