Black x Yellow Nation suffered another major incident!
If losing Le’Veon Bell for the season wasn’t enough, the Pittsburgh Steelers face the worst news they could imagine this year. Ben Roethlisberger has officially been injured again, after a fourth quarter tackle from Oakland Raiders defensive end Aldon Smith.
The nasty sack, which shows Big Ben’s ankle turning awkwardly, immediately forced the two-time Super Bowl champion to leave the game. He’s dealt with minor injuries this year, after missing a few games earlier in the year due to a left knee injury, but he was carted off the field for what looks to be something more serious. Team trainers and staff are set to evaluate B.R. later this afternoon, which more details are likely to surface later tonight and Monday morning.
UPDATE: Big Ben suffered a mid-foot sprain and will be out for a few weeks, according to Adam Schefter. The Steelers were afraid he suffered a LisFranc injury but that was not the case.
Ben Roethlisberger has a mid-foot sprain and is expected to be sidelined "a few weeks", per source.

Sounds like Ben Roethlisberger misses next Sunday's game vs. Browns, takes bye week to rest, then likely to return Week 12 at Seattle.
