PITTSBURGH (AP) – Ben Roethlisberger is no longer a Pittsburgh Steelers captain.
Roethlisberger, suspended for the first four games of the season by the NFL, was not chosen a Steelers captain in a vote of his teammates. He was selected the previous two seasons.
Wide receiver Hines Ward was voted as an offensive captain for the sixth season, while tight end Heath Miller was chosen for the first time.
Linebacker James Farrior will be the lone defensive captain, the seventh time he was selected. James Harrison was not selected after being chosen last year.
The special teams captain is linebacker Keyaron Fox, succeeding kicker Jeff Reed.
