The Facts:
Roethlisberger and Bill Cowher have said he's ready to go, healed from his broken jaw, nose and orbital bone. Nevertheless, Cowher will try to ease him into workouts. The plan has been to have him skip the first preseason game and play in the second, although those plans could change either way as he goes through camp. His doctors might believe it best to err on the side of caution, something Roethlisberger likely will fight.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As the Post-Gazette went on to suggest, the atmosphere around Roethlisberger could become surreal as fans and media descend on training camp. And if Roethlisberger has a poor training camp, as he did last year when he and the offense were ineffective in the preseason, it will be blamed on his motorcycle accident -- whether that's the case or not.
