The Steelers tweeted a video Saturday of Big Ben throwing a football for the first time since his season-ending injury and subsequent surgery.

This is the first major step in Roethlisberger’s recovery, as he is trying to regain the arm strength that separated himself from some QBs in the NFL.

Roethlisberger, 37, missed all but two games in 2019, and his contract runs through the 2021 season.
