Fowler: Big Ben should be good, Brown up in the air (1:21)

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger confirmed during his weekly radio show Tuesday that he has a sprained AC joint and torn ligaments in his throwing shoulder.

Roethlisberger told 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh that his right shoulder is "definitely sore" but maintained that his status is still day-to-day as the Steelers prepare for Sunday's AFC divisional-round game against the Broncos in Denver.

Roethlisberger told reporters on Wednesday that the Steelers are taking his injury "day-by-day, hour-by-hour." He said he wants to practice Wednesday, but there's no guarantee he would throw.

Multiple sources told ESPN on Monday that Roethlisberger is likely to play against Denver. The three-time Pro Bowler said Tuesday that he would "do whatever I can to be out there, but not at the expense of my team."

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said later Tuesday that Roethlisberger "has a chance" to play against the Broncos, but he admitted that Roethlisberger would probably be limited in Wednesday's practice. Landry Jones will get the majority of the reps at quarterback early in the week.

Tomlin also said wide receiver Antonio Brown will continue to go through the NFL's concussion protocol after taking a shot to the head from Cincinnati linebacker Vontaze Burfict on Pittsburgh's final drive. Tomlin added that running back DeAngelo Williams and his injured right foot is "on the outside looking in."

Roethlisberger suffered the injury in the third quarter of Pittsburgh's playoff victory over the rival Bengals on Saturday when his shoulder was driven into the turf on a sack by Burfict.
