The biggest question mark for the Steelers heading into the Colts game is who will start at quarterback.

Ben Roethlisberger sat out of practice on Wednesday after he aggravated his shoulder against the Redskins. Byron Leftwich got the snaps with the first team, something that has been commonplace on Wednesdays this season as Roethlisberger has been given a rest here and there.

“It’s good to get those reps,” said Leftwich. “I am getting more comfortable with the offense, more comfortable with the system. But those Wednesdays I try to use that time to try to throw to Nate (Washington), Santonio (Holmes) and Hines (Ward). Coming into this thing I didn’t have the chance to throw to those guys.”


The Steelers are 6-2 right now. They will be playing against the Colts this weekend. Personally, I think that Big ben needs to rest that shoulder of his before he mess around and makes the injury orse off than it already is. On Byron Leftwich, I'm not his biggest fan by a long shot. if he's able to do what's neccessary to keep the Steelers offensive drives alive, the Steelers have a good chance of winning the game.
