Roethlisberger dealing with pec injury

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin revealed Tuesday that QB Ben Roethlisberger is dealing with an injury to his left pectoral muscle. Jenna Horner of WPXI Sports reports that Tomlin said it "could affect him from a preparation standpoint." That makes it sound like we should expect some missed practice time this week but that they expect Roethlisberger to be ready for Sunday's game against the Bengals. The aged QB shouldn't be in most fantasy plans at full health right now, so this isn't affecting our Week 3 outlook much.
