Back to full activity Friday Roethlisberger (pectoral/shoulder) upgraded to full participation in practice Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburg...
Impact Roethlisberger followed up a full practice Wednesday with a limited one Thursday, but his return to full activity Friday suggests his restrictions a day earlier were likely maintenance-related. The 39-year-old is expected to play through the pair of injuries for the Steelers' remaining three games of the regular season, but he'll be doing so in Week 16 without one of his top targets in tight end Pat Freiermuth, who has been ruled out for the game with a concussion.

Logs limited session Roethlisberger (pectoral/right shoulder) was limited at practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Impact Roethlisberger was a full participant in Wednesday's session, but given that both of his listed injuries are issues he's been managing since Week 12, his availability for Sunday's game against the Chiefs doesn't appear to be in any danger. With that in mind, there's a solid chance that the QB logs a full practice Friday and heads into the weekend minus a Week 16 injury designation.

Minimal production in win Roethlisberger completed 16 of his 25 passes for 148 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Titans. He added three rushes for no yards and a touch...
Impact Roethlisberger was content to let Pittsburgh's defense and Chris Boswell lead the team to victory, as he played the role of game manager with little production to go with it. His most productive play came late in the third quarter when he found the end zone on his second sneak attempt in a span of three plays. As for his work as a passer, Roethlisberger tallied only six completions of more than 10 yards on his way to averaging 5.9 yards per attempt. Roethlisberger had entered the game having thrown for multiple touchdowns in three of his last four games, and he'll need to do more with his arm if he hopes to lead the Steelers to another victory in Week 16 against Kansas City.

Good to go against Titans Roethlisberger (shoulder/pectoral) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Titans, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports.
Impact Roethlisberger raised his practice activity throughout the week, putting in a full session Friday after being limited Thursday and missing practice altogether Wednesday. Coming off his second 300-yard passing performance of the season, Roethlisberger isn't expected to be limited by his nagging injuries against the inconsistent Tennessee secondary.

Puts in limited practice Roethlisberger (pectoral/shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
Impact Roethlisberger is receiving his typical maintenance as the Steelers prepare for a Week 15 matchup with the Titans on Sunday. Dating back to late September, Roethlisberger has frequently appeared on Pittsburgh injury reports due to the pectoral and right shoulder concerns, but his only absence this season came back in Week 10 on account of a positive COVID-19 test. Expect Roethlisberger to upgrade to full activity Friday and approach the weekend without an injury designation.
