BIG BEN UPDATES

[SuperSteelers]

Completely agree with this. If he can play then get him in there. That way he can get any rust off and get back to normal. Chargers could be a little more difficult than we think since they are struggling so we need our best guys out there.

I disagree because his rust could cause an "L". I would give him have another week of practice to knock some of the rust off and just let Batch start this game.

Now he may be playing the injury situation up a bit... he has to add his own drama... hes playing.. playing with the media.

This! Ben wants the "oh my" he's so tough look..

Yea because getting your rib dislocated at any severity is an easy healer. I guees he should have healed up the next day I suppose.

Lol you have no idea! Do you know you can pop your rib out sneezing or pull starting a stubborn mower! This I have done many times and my life wasn't in risk! All this was a cushion to cover the time off!!

Sneezing and coughing can cause injury even though they may seem like innocuous activities. It isn't easy to compare injuries unless you really know all the details. If Ben's injury was as described, it was a strange one. Most rib injuries aren't directly over one of the great vessels so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Smokescreen my man, trying to justify him some added baby time off!

Maybe, but he wasn't completely off the whole time. If he hadn't been at practices or at the games, I might be more inclined to agree with you. I'm also basing on what I have seen from him in the past - he seems more likely to play when he shouldn't than vice versa.
