As Landry Jones (the owner of the above ankle) was carted off the field, Big Ben began to warm-up on the sideline. He had spent this entire past week in a walking boot after exiting last Sunday's game with a left foot injury.

In case you're wondering what'll happen if Roethlisberger can't play:

For the rest of today's game, Steelers' backup QB is....tight end Heath Miler.

Thankfully for Steelers fans this is all happening against the Browns.
