Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers quarterback, is dealing with a left knee MCL and a right knee sprain already meaning he wasn't practicing this week as he tries to rest up for Week 10. Now he has another reason not to practice as he has been placed on the COVID-19 reserve list due to a high risk contact with tight end Vance McDonald. He and three other Steelers are on the list, meaning they need to quarantine for five days. They could come off that list on Saturday and given the home game, it is not an issue right now for them to play Sunday. However, they would to post need to consecutive negative tests to play. There is a big difference between close contact and high risk. Since Big Ben was resting his knee injuries already, this quarantine shouldn't affect his week too much and we fully expect him to play versus the Bengals.
