Ben Roethlisberger - Upgrades to full practice activity Roethlisberger (pectoral/shoulder) practiced fully Friday Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Impact Roethlisberger received a maintenance day Thursday to tend to his lingering pair of injuries, neither of which is considered serious enough to sideline him for the Steelers' final two regular-season contests. Rather than his absence from practice Thursday, the bigger news pertaining to Roethlisberger that day was his acknowledgement to the media that Monday's game against Cleveland could be his last appearance at Pittsburgh's Heinz Field. The 39-year-old hasn't formally announced that he plans to retire after this season, but he'll be a free agent in the spring and isn't expected to attract much interest on the open market from the Steelers or other teams with the quality of his play having been in steady decline over the past three years.
