Vick Says Jones Is Absolutely, Definitely Starting
Following up on the ongoing story. ... Although Ben Roethlisberger is officially listed as questionable with his injured foot, Michael Vick said Landry Jones will “absolutely, definitely” be the starter and Vick will be his backup.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette writer Gerry Dulac tweeted that Roethlisberger is “progressing ahead of schedule” but there’s “no chance” he plays Sunday.
The Steelers are off next week, so that makes sense in addition to matching what Vick said.
Roethlisberger was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday despite being a longshot to play. He suffered a foot injury in last week’s win over the Raiders and was replaced by Jones, who’s in line for his second career start Sunday.
I'll obviously continue to look for more.
Also. ... DeAngelo Williams (foot) is listed as probable.
