Team Harteis News – Ben Roethlisberger likely to be in for the Monday Night Colts Game.

 

The Pittsburgh Steelers expect to have Ben Roethlisberger back at quarterback Monday night at Indianapolis.

 

Roethlisberger has missed three games after having knee surgery Nov. 3 but is listed as probable for the Steelers' third Monday night game in eight weeks. That means there's a 75 percent chance he will play. With Roethlisberger out, the Steelers beat Green Bay and Cleveland with Charlie Batch at quarterback. But when Batch broke a bone in his hand, Tommy Maddox stepped in and was ineffective in a 16-13 overtime loss Sunday in Baltimore.

 

The Steelers are 7-3, but are 0-2 when Maddox starts.

 

Pittsburgh's first loss in five weeks left the Steelers three games behind the unbeaten Colts in the race for home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. The Steelers and Bengalsare tied for the AFC North lead, with the Bengals playing Baltimore this weekend.
