    Ben is on a fast track to recovery following knee surgery.

    The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback no longer is using crutches and was seen watching the first day of minicamp practice with only a wrap on his right knee.

    Dr. James Bradley performed an arthroscopic procedure to clean up meniscus damage in Roethlisberger's knee last week. Big Ben expects to be ready for the start of training camp.

    "It feels great," Roethlisberger said Tuesday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "I saw Doc Bradley this morning. He was pleasantly surprised with the range of motion and where we're at with the swelling. It feels great. I've been off crutches for a couple days now and moving around pretty good. I think I could play Sunday if I had to.

    "According to Doc, the surgery went really well, my knee is in great shape. They took care of the little problem. It had been bothering me a little bit last year and we just decided now is the time to take care of it."

    Roethlisberger believes the injury came about from general "wear and tear."

    Odds are Gradkowski will be out there at some point. Ben's only ever played 16 games one time...

    Sh!t..If Brucie is y'all's back up, y'all ain't got much to worry about. Brucie can win. Just look at what he did for the 06 Bucs. Bruce "Italian Stallion" Gradkowski. Wish the Bucs still had him. He'd be better than the bum we have now
