It always seems like something when it comes to the health of Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger, but to have something like this before the team even plays a preseason game has to be a little alarming.

Roethlisberger stated today that he has a small tear in his rotator cuff but said his arm feels strong and it should not affect any of the throws he makes.

“I’m good. It’s OK, just sore,” Roethlisberger said. “I have a little torn rotator cuff. That doesn’t heal. We just have to hope it doesn’t tear the rest of the way, according to Doc.”

He said he has been throwing less during camp which has helped his arm feel better, but reports say today he spent extra time throwing after practice, so it must not feel that bad.

Let’s hope it stays that way.
