The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... Roethlisberger has a sprained left foot, team sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen. The sources, however, would not speculate on the quarterback's status for the Pittsburgh Steelers' game Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

Diehards Line:A scan performed Monday on Roethlisberger's left foot was negative for a fracture, the sources said. An X-ray on Sunday had indicated a possible fracture but the test was inconclusive because of swelling in the foot. Roethlisberger on Sunday said his foot was injured on the second-to-last series of the Steelers' 17-10 loss to the Houston Texans when he was tackled from behind. He remained in the game but had trouble walking afterward in the locker room. He was wearing a walking boot when he left the stadium. As previously noted, playing with a foot injury wouldn't be new for Roethlisberger. He played part of last season with a broken right foot.
