Roethlisberger (left pectoral) returned to a limited practice Thursday, Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roethlisberger's return to practice, albeit in a limited capacity, bodes well for his chances of suiting up for Sunday's game against the Bengals. For his part, the QB noted Wednesday that he plans to do "everything he can" to be available this weekend, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports. Friday's final injury report of the week will reveal whether or not Roethlisberger (whose top backup is Mason Rudolph) will approach Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff carrying a Week 3 injury designation.
