PITTSBURGH (AP) -Steelers coach Mike Tomlin says the team is working closely with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to make sure he turns his life around, but Tomlin is not offering any specifics.
Tomlin says he talks regularly with Roethlisberger, who recently underwent a behavioral evaluation as part of the six-game suspension given him by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
The suspension could be reduced to four games at Goodell’s discretion, but the Steelers say their intervention isn’t specifically designed to ensure Roethlisberger returns to the field sooner.
Roethlisberger was suspended after a 20-year-old Georgia college student accused him of sexual assault in March. No charges were filed in the case, but Roethlisberger was disciplined by the league for failing to follow its personal conduct policy.
