NEW YORK — The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly appealing the fine NFL officials levied against the team for incorrectly listing quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's injured status, according to ESPN.
The team was fined $75,000 for not listing Roethlisberger on the injury report prior to the Week 2 game against the Seahawks. The team did not say he had an elbow injury. He started that game but left after the first half.
