All week, the Denver Broncos have been talking about how they fully expect to see Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlisberger on the field this Sunday. Well, one of those guys has been officially ruled out.

On top of that, the Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams, who only had a slim chance of playing, was ruled out as well.

As for their leader, Ben Roethlisberger he’s still listed as “QUESTIONABLE” on the injury report but reports out of Pittsburgh, including this one from receiver Martavis Bryant, are starting to sound more positive.

Roethlisberger has always had the best chance of playing of the three and the Broncos haven’t backed off their expectations of him playing, but it is now certain that he’ll be without his best weapon in the air and on the ground.
