Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is set to start Sunday's game against Oakland after sitting out last week because of headaches caused by a concussion.
Roethlisberger was hurt during the November 22 game against Kansas City, then passed a battery of tests the day after and practiced both Wednesday and Thursday last week in preparation for the game at Baltimore. However, he took limited reps on Friday and the Steelers decided to keep him out of the Sunday night contest.
The two-time Super Bowl winner was back at practice this week.
Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu was inactive and missed his third straight game with a knee injury.
