PITTSBURGH (AP) – Right about now, Ben Roethlisberger’s suspension must seem a whole lot longer to the Pittsburgh Steelers than it did when it was announced in April.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is expected to trim Roethlisberger’s punishment from six to four games as early as this week, but the Steelers still won’t have their $102 million quarterback on the field for a game that counts until mid-October.
They must be wondering if it will take until then to find the clarity coach Mike Tomlin said he’s seeking at quarterback. So far, there’s been a lot of confusion and consternation about the quarterback play, but very little clarity.
With only a single practice remaining before the final exhibition game Thursday against Carolina, there’s not much time for Tomlin to find it.
