Roethlisberger: minor injury does not matter
As it is reported by Associated Press, Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger returned to practice Thursday. Just one day after he left the field for knee injury caused by a collision with RB Willie Parker.
Roethlisberger's returning soon may show that he did not get any heavy injury. Although his left knee was still wrapped, everything seemed normal with him during the practice.
Roethlisberger limped off the field immediately at the end of workout on Wednesday, but now he seemed not in need of any further treatment. Good news to the Steelers, in a time when many players have to unergo surgery after getting injuried.
