MrEdway Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Looked like he hurt it pretty good against Indy but haven't heard much discussion about this. Which leads me to believe it's fairly serious. See they have him listed as probable with a "thumb" injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menudo Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Built in excuse when another Steeler QB throws 3 INT's in a big playoff game. 1281522[/snapback] No excuse at all. I watched the NFL Game of the Week and when they talked to him about it, he said that he took a shot in the elbow, and his arm felt a bit numb. He worded it as a "dull" arm. I've read in Pittsburgh that he has looked sharp in practice and should be o.k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isleseeya Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 His thumb ? he looked fine last week and he is fine this week ...Whatever happens in this game i do not believe his thumb will have anything to do with the result now if he needs to hitchhike back home ( in case of a very bad performance ) then the thumb can become a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is still listed as probable, due to the fact that he still has to wear a protective splint under his glove, and the injury is still there. Ben has said that the thumb has been getting better each week and is not much of an issue right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 He's been fighting off some thumb injury all season, hasn't he? I saw that hit he took, and the coaches testing his hand on the sidelines. I thought he might be done -- and the entire next series was a 'hand off to the bus' type series. I hope he's OK, because I hate the game to be decided by stuff like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 (edited) -- and the entire next series was a 'hand off to the bus' type series. 1281568[/snapback] Believe the reason for the no passing, from what I heard and saw, was that his arm had no feeling in it. Think he got hit on the 'funny bone' and everything went all tingly. LOL I would assume that it got back to normal after awhile. He did pass once immediately after the hit... a bad pass... and after that it was hand off time. Edited January 22, 2006 by skylive5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Nothing wrong with Ben's arm. A very masterful performance, demonstrating that he's an elite QB in the league. A tremendous scheme gave him so much confidence...he's the goods. Even more impressive is the Steeler team. They steam-rolled through the AFC and will be the team I'll be pulling for--amazing defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
