LANDOVER, Md. -- Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is currently sitting out of the second half of Monday's game against the Washington Redskins because of a shoulder injury.
Roethlisberger went into the tunnel a little before halftime to get it looked at and it was announced in the press box that his return is questionable. Backup quarterback Byron Leftwich has replaced Roethlisberger in the lineup for Pittsburgh and led the team to a touchdown drive.
The Steelers currently lead 16-6.
