The ankle injury suffered by Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger late in Sunday's wild-card win over the Miami Dolphins doesn't appear to be severe, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.
Roethlisberger was spotted limping around in a walking boot after the game. He was injured on his final passing attempt of the contest and played only one additional offensive snap, a game-ending kneel-down.
Tests on the ankle checked out "OK," according to Rapoport, and it appears to be a minor sprain.
Roethlisberger vowed the injury will not prevent him from playing in the divisional round against the Kansas City Chiefs.
