The Facts:
ESPN's Ed Werder, reporting live from Jacksonville, advised viewers moments ago that all signs still point towards Roethlisberger starting and playing as usual against the Jaguars tonight -- just 15 days after undergoing an emergency appendectomy.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Roethlisberger missed the regular season opener days after the procedure; the 11-day layoff that came with a Thursday night opener followed by a Monday night kickoff has worked in his favor. ... For what it's worth, Werder reported that a source close to the QB said Roethlisberger has felt some pain while throwing in practices, but the major hurdle tonight will be mental rather than physical. ... Whatever the case, we'll post the official word on Roethlisberger's status when it comes down the pike later today.
