Roethlisberger Unlikely To Be Ready For Ravens In Week 9
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- The Baltimore Ravens are set to face the Steelers on November 6, after both teams take their bye week.
Team officials were"optimistic" Roethlisberger could play Week 9 after practicing with his team on October 25, just a week after having surgery to repair a torn meniscus.
However, the team is now uncertain he can recover from the knee injury in time to play in Week 9 against the Ravens in Baltimore, a source told ESPN. The source said, "I'd be nervous about it. It could be Dallas [in Week 10] or even the week after. I would guess we're still a few weeks out."

The Ravens need to tighten up their efforts if they want to remain in playoff contention and beat the Steelers.
The Ravens currently remain in the playoff mix as they sit in the eighth spot in the AFC, and are just one game behind the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North.
