Keisel OUT for 2 Months

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel was injured in the first quarter of Sunday night's game against Cleveland. Keisel injured his right calf and returned to the sideline sporting crutches and a protective boot from his knee to his foot.

Kiesel is scheduled to undergo further tests on his calf this week and will be out for approximately 2 months. This is going to be a big loss for the Steelers.

Also big news is Big Ben's "sore" shoulder.

NBC-TV reported Sunday night that Roethlisberger has a separated shoulder, described merely as "sore" by coach Mike Tomlin a week ago. Indeed,
Roethlisberger has a low-grade separation but it did not prevent him from throwing 19 times, including one pass of at least 60 yards and another of 50 in a swirling wind in Cleveland.

A Steelers spokesperson said that there won't be any updates on either of these injuries until Coach Mike Tomlin's press conference today.
