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.
