Big Ben Practices; Expected to Play Sunday
November 25th, 2009 | by Matt Loede |The Steelers got some good news today, as quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has practiced despite sustaining a concussion against Kansas City. Reports say he is expected to play Sunday in Baltimore.
While Roethlisberger went through a usual Wednesday practice, second-year quarterback Dennis Dixon took more snaps than usual. Dixon moved up the depth chart when backup Charlie Batch broke his left wrist during the 27-24 loss Sunday.
The Steelers added a third quarterback by signing former three-year Pitt starter Tyler Palko to their practice squad.
Defensive end Travis Kirschke practiced after missing three games with a torn left calf muscle. Safety Troy Polamalu (left knee ligament) missed the workout.
