The Steelers have placed quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on the COVID-19 reserve list, per a club announcement. Running back Jaylen Samuels, offensive lineman Jerald Hawkins, and linebacker Vince Williams have also been added to the list. 
The news comes just hours after tight end Vance McDonald was parked with the same designation. Per league rules, each Steelers player will have to isolate for several days and test negative before rejoining the team.
Roethlisberger is not believed to have tested positive. Instead, he was deemed a high-risk, close contact, according to ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter (on Twitter). Depending on what happens from here, the QB may have a chance to start on Sunday against the Bengals.
Meanwhile, Big Ben is hoping to heal up from double knee injuries suffered against the Cowboys. Despite that setback, Roethlisberger and the Steelers won 24-19 and advanced to 8-0 on the year.
COVID is probably the least of Ben’s immune system’s concerns
Meaning…..? What other diseases would he be worried about?
What are you inferring?
Probably referring to bathroom stall activities and rape allegations.
None of which were ever proven nor was he charged.
There goes the Steelers win streak
I had bad flashbacks watching Rudolph throw last week
There goes Big Ben last chance at going back to the SB
Nope… Pitts back baby!! And we are going back to the super bowl
