The Facts:
HC Mike Tomlin cautioned that he will not be locked in with a set rotation at quarterback this summer. But on the opening practice of training camp, Roethlisberger played with the first-team offense.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Steelers have an interesting dilemma with their quarterbacks entering the 2010 season. Roethlisberger will serve a conditional six-game suspension, which has opened the door for backups Byron Leftwich and Dennis Dixon. Leftwich was primarily with the second-team skill players Saturday morning and worked some reps with the starting offensive line. Dixon followed Leftwich as Pittsburgh's third QB. But as the coaching staff warned, the rotation can -- and probably will -- change at any moment. While Roethlisberger was forced to stay away from the team in the spring, Leftwich took most of the first-team snaps and is the early favorite to win the job.
