LATROBE — Tight spiral after tight spiral. Repeated deep balls lofted deftly into the waiting hands of a receiver not breaking stride.

Ben Roethlisberger has looked as sharp as ever during practices throughout much of this Pittsburgh Steelers training camp this summer.

The two-time Super Bowl champion appears anything like a quarterback who’s being bothered by a shoulder injury — as teammates, coaches and even Big Ben himself can attest to.

“He looks like the same old Ben to me, which is a great quarterback,” veteran tight end Heath Miller said. “Nothing new on that front.”

Roethlisberger revealed on Wednesday that he sustained a slight tear in his right rotator cuff during a game last November. The revelation caused a mid-afternoon stir at St. Vincent College Wednesday before Roethlisberger later assured, “It’s a serious non-issue, because I’m just fine.”

He’s looked it, too. Besides the fact he hasn’t missed a full practice at camp and was a full participant all through Organized Team Activities and minicamp earlier this summer, Roethlisberger’s arm has done the talking.

Thursday, most of his better throws during two-minute drill work went to Antonio Brown, including a high deep pattern down the right sideline that went for a 38-yard touchdown.

“He’s looking really good,” Brown said, “throwing good and just having a good camp overall.”

Continuing a trend that developed over the latter stages of last season, Brown has grown into Roethlisberger’s go-to receiver. That’s obvious during practice, though Pro Bowl receiver Mike Wallace’s holdout also contributes to that.

“I’m learning where he wants me to go,” Brown said. “And with him, I know that if I get there, the ball will be there for me.”

The other starting receiver, Emmanuel Sanders, concurs. He believes Roethlisberger “definitely” is having a strong training camp.

“All quarterbacks usually come into their prime around 30 years old,” Sanders said. “And I feel like Ben is starting to come into his prime with his arm strength and understanding and everything.”

Roethlisberger, who turned 30 in March, said that getting older — combined with the “sore” shoulder — has caused him to stop making repeated unnecessary throws before practice or during more informal situations.
