Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin confirmed quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is dealing with "hip issues" after experiencing another injury during the team's 27-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 4.
Tomlin confirmed the injury while speaking with reporters during his press conference on Tuesday.
Roethlisberger, 39, was already dealing with a left pectoral injury prior to the Steelers' Week 3 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals after being hit 10 times (and sacked twice) during Pittsburgh's Week 2 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, which began the team's three-game losing streak.
Roethlisberger was limited to just two appearances during the 2019 season due to a right elbow injury but started in 15 of the Steelers' 16 games in 2020.
The 18-year NFL veteran is signed to a restructured one-year deal, which means his contract will expire after the 2021 season, one many expect to be his last.
Roethlisberger agreed to take a pay cut in order to help out the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason.
During a media session in June, the 39-year-old quarterback said he suggested taking a $5 million pay reduction in order to help the Steelers free up $15 million in cap space.
Last Sunday, Roethlisberger became the eighth quarterback in NFL history to throw for 400 career touchdowns, which is the most in Steelers franchise history.
The two-time Super Bowl champion also holds the franchise record for passing yards (61,381) and wins by a quarterback (157).
