Roethlisberger expected to run entire playbook vs. Broncos

Despite not being at full strength, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is expected to have the full playbook available to him for Sunday's AFC divisional-round game, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

"Of course, the assumption would be, considering the type of injuries he has, that he'll be a little limited today," Rapoport said on "GameDay First." "But my understanding is that's not really the case.

"I would expect to see Roethlisberger - arm-strength-wise - actually himself on the field. They should have the full playbook available."

Roethlisberger emerged from the wild-card round with a sprained AC joint and torn ligaments in his throwing shoulder, but was a full participant at Friday's practice and is expected to start against the Denver Broncos.
