The Roethlisberger news one week after Aaron Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19. If Ben is vaccinated, he’ll be able to return after generating a pair of negative tests at least 24 hours apart. If he’s not vaccinated, he’ll miss at least 10 days.

Recently, Big Ben told reporters that he was vaccinated.
