Ben Roethlisberger injury: Steelers QB undergoing elbow surgery, will miss remainder of 2019 season

The Pittsburgh Steelers had a not good Sunday afternoon, falling to 0-2 with a loss to the Seattle Seahawks at home. But far more concerning was the injury suffered by franchise quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, which will end his season, the Steelers announced on Monday morning. 

"Ben Roethlisberger had an MRI on his right elbow Sunday evening and it was determined by the Steelers' medical team that surgery will be required," Mike Tomlin said in a statement released by the team. "We expect the surgery will be scheduled for this week. He will be placed on our Reserve/Injured List and is out for the season."

Well, it looks like the Steelers' season is swirling the bowl anyway.  Personally, I wish Roethlisberger would retire.  He's in his late 30s and it's long past time.

They may regret just having gotten rid of Josh Dobbs. I have confidence in Mason, but now he doesn't have a good backup.

Bradshaw had to retire because of his elbow.

He tried to comeback, but his first game back, after a year off, the elbow popped out and that was it.
