Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (knee) is now expected to miss 4-6 weeks, reports Chris Mortensen of ESPN.
Roethlisberger himself admitted that there are lingering issues in his knee resulting from a bone bruise he suffered last season. The original timetable had him looking at 2-3 weeks off, and with the Steelers having their bye in Week 8, there was hope that Big Ben would only miss one contest, but a multi-game absence now seems guaranteed. Landry Jones will be Steelers' starter in the meantime.
Our models expect Jones to complete 18-of-33 passes for 216 yards, 1.27 touchdowns and 0.87 interceptions on Sunday.
