Impact Roethlisberger has been managing the two issues since Week 12, but he hasn't missed any games since then. With that in mind, look for the QB to end up approaching Monday night's contest against the Browns minus a Week 17 injury designation. Per Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site, Roethlisberger acknowledged that this might be his last regular-season game at Heinz Field, given that this could be the 39-year-old's final NFL campaign.

Acknowledges retirement rumors Roethlisberger said Thursday that he anticipates Monday's home game against the Browns will be his last at Heinz Field, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Though he didn't explicitly say that he's planning on ending his career after the season -- or leaving the Steelers and potentially signing with another team -- Roethlisberger's comments to the media marked his first public acknowledgement that he might be headed for retirement. Though Roethlisberger has struggled mightily in the Steelers' last two contests and is now averaging a pedestrian 6.5 yards per attempt on the season, head coach Mike Tomlin is unlikely to consider benching the 39-year-old, given his importance to the franchise along with the lack of appealing alternatives on the roster. Roethlisberger should continue to play through shoulder and pectoral injuries over the final two weeks while the Steelers look to secure a playoff spot.

DECEMBER 27, 2021 • YOUTUBE
Struggles in road game Roethlisberger completed 23 of 35 pass attempts for 159 yards, one touchdown and one interception against Kansas City on Sunday.
Impact Roethlisberger's touchdown occurred late in garbage time, so his performance was even worse than the box score implied in the 36-10 loss. At this point in his decline, Roethlisberger doesn't project for an obvious bounce back against the Browns in Week 17, but he had a decent game at Cleveland in Week 8 (22 of 34 for 266 yards and one touchdown) and gets to face them in Pittsburgh this time around.
