Steelers man recovering well
Pittsburgh Steelers quarter back Ben Roethlisberger says he is recovering well from the sprained ankle he picked up in his side’s 14-3 win over the Cleveland Browns last week but says he is unsure whether or not he’ll fit for Monday’s match against San Francisco.
The 29-year-old was forced off the field with the injury and his ankle looked more like a multicoloured canvas but he says the swelling has gone down and the colour is solely returning.
This has seen him miss three practices in a row but he is hoping his extra day of rest on Thursday will make the difference and he’ll be back on the paddock for Friday’s season as he looks to avoid missing his first start for over two years. Those following the American football odds should remember this.
Roethlisberger has a history of playing with injuries and is known as one of the sport’s toughest quarterbacks having previously played with a fractured thumb and sprained foot this campaign.
He says that pain will not be an issue in his comeback and the decision will be made purely on his mobility, adding that no stone will be left unturned as he looks to get back on the field.
“The goal is as soon as possible to get in there and get in as much work as I can,” Roethlisberger said.
“If this was just a matter of pain, I’d be out there, but it’s being physically unable to do certain things.”
The injury has forced him to use a walking boot to support his ankle but he says he is now out of it and his movement is improving all the time. Anyone looking at the Super Bowl betting odds will have to bear this in mind.
“The more I’m out of it, the more I want to move it,” Roethlisberger said. “Movement is good because it gets the fluid out but I also catch myself every once in awhile turning it sideways or doing something and it almost puts me to the ground.”

Casino Games Review: Casino War
Casino War is a card game based on a children’s card game called “War”. It is available to be played as an online gambling game for both free and real money
The game is played with six decks of 52-cards. The card rankings are the same as in normal poker, with the exception that aces are always high. The game starts with the players making an initial wager. The dealer and the player each receive one card each and if the player’s card is higher than the dealer’s, then the bet is won at odds of 2 to 1. If the roles are reversed, then the player loses their bet.
