Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional-round matchup with the Denver Broncos.

Roethlisberger is still dealing with a shoulder injury suffered in last week's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. While he still appears likely to fight through the ailment to be under center this week, it remains unclear how much he'll be limited when it comes to pushing the ball downfield.

Facing the league's top-ranked defense on the road, the Steelers may need a heroic performance from Roethlisberger to have a chance at advancing to the AFC Championship Game.

Star wideout Antonio Brown was ruled out earlier Friday due to a concussion suffered last week, and running back DeAngelo Williams later received the same designation.

Williams is missing his second consecutive game as a result of an ankle injury suffered in Week 17, again pushing Fitzgerald Toussaint into a role atop the backfield rotation.
