received some good news recently after visiting with his doctors in California. Roethlisberger, who underwent season-ending elbow surgery just two weeks into the 2019 season, over the weekend for the first time since sustaining the injury."It was a good report," Roethlisberger told Ron Cook of the . "I got to bypa s the tennis ball throwing for a month and go right to the football. Still going to T.J. Leaf Jersey be about two and a half-three months until I get total clearance from the doctor but we are doing good!"It felt amazing to throw," Roethlisberger continued. "It was hard to hold the smile in. (I have) two more throwing se sions while I'm out here in California and then headed back to the 'Burgh."Fans and teammates celebrated on social media upon seeing over the weekend. The video and Roethlisberger's positive meeting with his doctors confirm the ' belief that Big Ben will be ready when Pittsburgh begins offseason workouts in May. Mike Tomlin, during a recent appearance on "First Take," made it clear that he expects Roethlisberger to be the Steelers' starting quarterback when the team begins the 2020 regular season. "This guy is the ultimate competitor," Tomlin Cassius Stanley Jersey said of Roethlisberger. "He's dropped the gauntlet down. He made the statement that he's coming back, and I look forward to watching him answer that challenge."Roethlisberger, who will celebrate his 38th birthday on March. 2, is just two years removed from his record-setting 2018 season that saw him lead the NFL with 5,129 pa sing yards. Pittsburgh's offense also led the NFL in red zone efficiency that season while scoring a franchise record 53 touchdowns. With Roethlisberger sidelined last season, Pittsburgh's offense struggled to keep pace with its emerging defense, a unit that boasted four Pro Bowl players in DE Cam Heyward, OLB T.J. Watt, cornerback , and safety . While the Steelers' defense finished fifth in the NFL in scoring, tied for first in sacks, Domantas Sabonis Jersey and third in fewest pa sing yards allowed, Pittsburgh's offense finished just 27th in scoring, 31st in pa sing and 29th in rushing. Pittsburgh's offense was also last in the NFL in red zone efficiency a year after being tops in the NFL in that department. The Steelers suffered other significant injuries throughout the course of the 2019 season, losing running back for six games and receiver for four games. They also lost DE for the year just Amida Brimah Jersey six games into the season. Despite the injuries and lack of production on the offensive side of the ball, the Steelers went 7-1 after a 1-4 start to get themselves inside the AFC playoff race with three games remaining in the regular season. Pittsburgh's improbable run fell short, however, as the Steelers dropped their final three games to finish with an 8-8 record.Pittsburgh's quarterback room will look slightly different in 2020, as the Steelers hired Matt Canada, a longtime college a sistant that recently served as Maryland's offensive coordinator/interim head coach in 2018, to be the team's new quarterbacks coach. And while the Steelers seem comfortable with serving as Big Ben's primary backup in 2020, the Steelers will likely bring in competition to compete with to be the team's No. 3 quarterback.The Steelers will also look to add to their skill positions, as Pittsburgh is expected to sign a veteran receiver and po sibly another running back in free agency. The Steelers may decide to use their draft first pick -- the 50th overall pick -- on a tight end. Two po sible options for the Steelers are Purdue's Brycen Hopkins and Vanderbilt's Jared Pinkney. Hopkins, in CBS Sports' 2020 prospect rankings, caught 61 pa ses for 830 yards and Bojan Bogdanovic Jersey seven touchdowns last season. Pinkney, the 56th-ranked player on CBS' prospect rankings, caught 114 pa ses and 14 touchdowns during his time with the Commodores.
