Ben Roethlisberger reportedly has a separated shoulder, and his status for next weekend?s divisional-round game against the Denver Broncos is up in the air.

Michael Silver of NFL.com reports the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback has an MRI scheduled for Sunday and that Big Ben will try to play, depending on the extent of the damage suffered.
The injury occurred early in the fourth quarter when Vontaze Bufict sacked Roethlisberger hard with a pile-driving hit (watch here).
Roethlisberger did make it back into the game and led a game-winning drive. However, his ability to make throws down the field was significantly hampered:
If Roethlisberger can play, he will. There is never any doubt about that. We?ve witnessed him playing on ankles that would keep normal human beings on their couches. That said, if his shoulder is bad enough, team doctors could force him to stay out of the game, being that the injury is to his throwing arm.
If Roethlisberger is unable to play, Landry Jones would get the start. Jones went 1-1 in his two starts this year and finished the season completing 58.2 percent of his passes with 513 yards, three touchdowns and four interceptions

What? He's a Broncos fan. I'm confident all Broncos fan would rather face the Steelers with Ben on the sidelines. The little laughing smiley guy at the end of my post indicated that I am joking.
He may be dead
One of the more vicious and malicious hits I've seen
He had 100% intent to inflict injury and head hunt
AB is playing....I'd be shocked if he doesn't. ..these guys can lie to doctors and say no symptoms. ....
If dwilll, ben, AB all miss they may as well forfeit
