Pittsburgh Steelers There has been some concerns coming out of Steelers camp as to the health of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, but coach Mike Tomlin is doing his best to put the rumors to bed.

In a press-conference Tomlin announced that there were no problems with his Pro-Bowl QB.

"Ben's fine. He's going to play," Tomlin said.

Roethlisberger was hit hard in the back during the AFC Championship Game against the Baltimore Ravens, and has spent much of his time stretching his torso during practices this week.

There has also been a lot of talk about receiver Hines Ward and his injured knee. Ward sprained his
right medial collateral ligament during the AFC championship game and did not practice on Wednesday, but was back to work on Thursday.

"Hines is great," Tomlin went on to say that he looked pretty good in practice on Thursday and the team will "see where he is" after Friday's practice.

"We'll continue to push forward towards Sunday, but our mentality regarding Hines has not changed," Tomlin said. "He's intent on playing in the football game."

There have also been some concerns on the offensive line. Offensive tackle Max Stark has continued to practice with a brace on his knee and center Justin Hartwig has been limited on the practice field.
