Meanwhile, ESPN's Adam Schefter relays that Roethlisberger is said to be "progressing ahead of schedule." For his part, when asked Thursday if he might be able to play Sunday against the Browns, Roethlisberger said, "I hope so." While such an outcome would still be surprising, Roethlisberger clearly can't be ruled out for Week 10 just yet, and given that he is even entertaining the possibility of suiting up Sunday, original fears that the QB might miss at least a few weeks could prove to be unfounded.
