PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said there’s still pain two weeks after undergoing surgery to repair the meniscus in his left knee, but he isn’t ruling himself out of Sunday’s game at Baltimore.

“You have surgery two weeks ago, there’s going to be a little bit (of pain),” Roethlisberger said.

“But listen, anybody in this locker room who’s not feeling pain hasn’t been on the football field. Everyone’s feeling pain right now.”

Roethlisberger took first-team snaps while practicing in a limited capacity on Wednesday. He practiced in a limited capacity last week and again on Monday.

Roethlisberger said it is important to feel comfortable on the field, protect himself in the pocket and keep the swelling down on his surgically repaired knee.

“I’m going to take it one day at a time,” Roethlisberger said. “When I feel healthy and ready to go, I’ll be ready.”

Roethlisberger said the decision on whether or not he can play will be made by coach Mike Tomlin. Swelling has not been an issue so far though Roethlisberger will continue to remain in contact with team physician Dr. James Bradley and monitor his knee as he ramps up his workload.

“Dr. Bradley said I’ve gone through this before so my body will tell me best how I feel,” Roethlisberger said.

Roethlisberger injured his left knee during a loss against Miami and was initially expected to miss 4 to 6 weeks following the surgery. He underwent surgery the following day and missed a home loss against New England the next Sunday, though he jogged onto the field to greet his defensive teammates and was spotted walking in the locker room without a limp.

Roethlisberger began throwing passes during individual portions of practice two days later, just eight days after surgery. He practiced some with the first team and scout team on Monday, two weeks after his procedure, and again on Wednesday.

“I’m not sure how he feels, but he looked good,” offensive lineman Ramon Foster said. “His health and how he’s feeling, we’re going to determine that at the rest of the week.”
