Pittsburgh Steelers star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger hurt both of his knees in the team's Week 9 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
However, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Roethlisberger should be able to play in Week 10 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
#Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger sustained injuries to both knees on Sunday, but after tests today, there is cautious optimism that he’ll be healthy enough to play vs the #Bengals. While both knees got trapped, his feet not being stuck in the turf saved him from major injury.

The Steelers have the best record in the NFL, as they are the only undefeated team left in the league at 8-0. While the Cowboys gave Ben Roethlisberger and Co. a scare on Sunday, the Steelers were able to survive and appear to have dodged a bullet with Roethlisberger's knees.
Big Ben is playing like an MVP this season. He's thrown 18 touchdown passes and racked up 1,934 yards through the air while completing 68.1 percent of his passes. Both Roethlisberger and the entire Steelers team are on a mission in 2020 after missing the playoffs in 2019. Roethlisberger only played in two games last season due to a serious elbow injury that required surgery.
Now 38, Roethlisberger is looking to win his third Super Bowl with the Steelers. The Kansas City Chiefs are still the favorite to win the AFC since Patrick Mahomes is playing out of this world but don't sleep on Pittsburgh and head coach Mike Tomlin's defensive group.
Roethlisberger is 23-7 in his career against the Bengals. Look for the future Hall of Famer to get plenty of treatment during the week on his knees before Week 10 hits.
