Roethlisberger exits late in 1st half with right elbow injury
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger headed to the locker room late in the first half against the Seattle Seahawks after suffering a right elbow injury and is questionable to return.
Roethlisberger was seen shaking his right arm multiple times during the first half and was replaced by Mason Rudolph.
Roethlisberger hasn't missed a game due to injury since 2016 but he has an extensive injury history, having played all 16 games in a season just four times during his 15-year career.
Rudolph had a shaky start to his NFL debut, throwing a pick on his second-career throw.
Roethlisberger led the NFL with 5,129 passing yards last season but had a rough outing against the New England Patriots to start the 2019 campaign. The veteran went 8 of 15 for 75 yards in the first half.
