Big Ben Tweaks Knee

From Ed Bouchette of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger stopped practicing today when he slipped and slightly injured his right knee while throwing a pass.

Byron Leftwich took over and ran the final 1 ?? offensive sessions over the final 20 minutes of practice.

Roethlisberger said afterward that he slipped in the mud in the middle of the Steelers outdoor, grass practice field. He does not think his knee is seriously hurt.

Coach Mike Tomlin prefers to practice outdoors when possible, especially when the Steelers have a home game. They also have an indoor practice field with artificial turf available to them.
