The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger worked out without problem and seemed to be fine enough for playing Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders. So wide receiver had to apologize for his earlier remarks that indicated doubt on the quarterback’s toughness. He did it on Tuesday.
Ward said he spoke emotionally without knowing a team doctor recommended the quarterback not play Sunday because of a concussion. Actually Ward and his teammates didn’t learn until Saturday that Roethlisberger wouldn’t play as Big Ben had been practicing as the starter all last week. Ward explained that he was frustrated by the fact that Roethlisberger would not be out there to play with the team the game for them to stay in the playoff. He apologized as he would never have questioned a man’s toughness playing in a Steelers jersey.
“Now as a veteran guy on this team, you can see how upset that made a lot of us considering we were going down into the lions dens in Baltimore without our fearless leader,” Ward wrote in a post on his Face book page, making his comments public to avoid talking further about the subject.
