Roethlisberger (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's AFC Divisional Playoff game against the Broncos.

Analysis:

Roethlisberger's status thus merits monitoring in advance Sunday's 4:40 ET kickoff, but coach Mike Tomlin's comments after Friday's practice suggest that the QB has a good shot to play. "I thought he did a nice job," Tomlin said with regard to Roethlisberger's performance in Friday's session. "He did everything we asked him to do. I was very specific about what I asked him to do. I wanted to see a variety of throws. I wanted to see enough, no more." In the event that Roethlisberger does play Sunday, we suspect that he'll be operating at less than 100 percent thanks to his shoulder ailment, and adding to his challenges in the contest is that both RB DeAngelo Williams (foot) and WR Antonio Brown have been ruled out by the Steelers this week.
