PITTSBURGH,None — At his weekly news conference Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin updated quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's status.
Tomlin told Channel 11's Alby Oxenreiter that "based on the information we have, Ben will be limited in the early portion of the week." But Tomlin did say that he's hopeful that Roethlisberger will be ready to play against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday at Heinz Field.
Roethlisberger sprained his left foot in the fourth quarter of a 17-10 loss to Houston. An MRI on Monday revealed no significant damage.
Meanwhile, linebacker James Harrison will miss several weeks after suffering a right orbital fracture. He'll have surgery this week, and there is no timetable for his return.
Tomlin said in Harrison's absence Lawrence Timmons will move to right outside linebacker and Larry Foote will move to inside linebacker.
