PITTSBURGH -- Doctors held a news conference Tuesday afternoon at Mercy Hospital to provide an update on Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s medical condition.

The hospital officially updated his condition from serious but stable to fair on Tuesday afternoon.

Ben was transferred from the recovery room to an undisclosed unit at the hospital. He is awake, alert, oriented and resting with his family by his side.

The upgrade means Ben’s vital signs are stable and his recovery is progressing as expected.

If all goes as planned he could be released in the next three to five days.

The family permitted his doctors to release a list of his injuries.

It includes fractures to his upper and lower jaw, mild concussion, a fractured nose, fractured facial bones, multiple head lacerations, multiple abrasions/contusions, loss of two teeth, chipped several teeth and no evidence of any major structural damage to either knees. A CT scan of the brain showed no injury.

Roethlisberger underwent seven hours of surgery Monday to repair the injuries he suffered during the accident.

The hospital said the next update of Ben’s condition will be Wednesday at a yet to be determined time.

Channel 11’s Rick Earle learned Tuesday afternoon that Ben did not have a motorcycle license at the time of his accident on Monday.

Earle’s source also said that Big Ben did not have a motorcycle learner's permit.

Pittsburgh and PennDOT police did not comment.

The crash happened under the Parkway East as Ben was traveling east on Second Avenue downtown near the Armstrong Tunnel.

The other car was traveling inbound on Second Avenue, and made a left turn onto the 10th Street Bridge. That's when it collided with Big Ben's bike. Police say Ben was not wearing a helmet.

Right now, the driver of the other car – a 62-year-old woman -- has not been charged.

The sport bike Ben was riding was a 2005 Suzuki Hayabusa.

The motorcycle is said to be one of the fastest on the market, with top speeds of at least 200 mph. The bike lists for just over $11,000.

A safety inspection of the car and motorcycle involved in the accident was completed Tuesday at the old Engine Co. No. 11 Fire Station in Troy Hill.

It was concluded that the bike was safe for the highway. Nothing abnormal about the car was found and was transported to the Pittsburgh toy pound.

Ben's accident put plans for Campbell's Chunky Soup up in the air. The ad was supposed to film this week.

The company is coming up with a new plan.

"...The ads will now focus on an expanded number of Steelers players due to our continuing partnership with the team," said Lisa Farynyk, Campell’s Vice President.
