According to Kansas City Star reporter Adam Teicher, Big Ben went to the locker room after taking a hit in the third quarter:
The injury occurred on a sack by Chiefs pass-rusher Justin Houston. Roethlisberger fell awkwardly, went to the sideline and trotted to the locker room a few minutes later, his arm hanging by his side.
Before leaving the game, he was 9-of-18 for 84 yards and a touchdown. He wasn't having a big night, but he was one of the few positive signs for the Steelers.
Byron Leftwich hasn't attempted a pass this season, although he does have experience. With Charlie Batch marked as inactive, Leftwich is the only option Monday night if Big Ben cannot return.
Stay tuned for updates.
