Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is not expected to attend practice Tuesday as the Steelers are still awaiting word from the NFL on when he can re-join the team. It looks like Roethlisberger, who was suspended for violating the league's personal conduct policy, will not return to offseason practices until next week at the earliest. Commissioner Roger Goodell is in Dallas this week for the NFL owners meetings, and he probably won't make a decision on Roethlisberger until the end of the week at the earliest. There has been talk that Goodell would hold out Roethlisberger for at least the first two weeks of the Steelers' offseason practices if only because of perception. Simply put, it wouldn't look good - or maybe consistent is the better word - if Goodell took a hard line against Roethlisberger when he handed down a six-game suspension in late April and then let the two-time Super Bowl winner take part in most of the offseason practices.

Those tall dudes need to realize they can't function like normal sized people. 'BIG BEN' is now the poster child for the young, short, and mindless.
Let him sit.... he's no different than any other player going through this kinda stuff. If he was being treated more harshly or softly I'd say something but IMO he's being treated like Pacman and some of the others. Sit down and learn something like....stay away from the wrong places. Want to see your NFL career over quickly....hang out at bars and get drunk etc....etc....etc.... Sooo many places for a player to go that someone is waiting for their 15 minutes of fame.
