Roethlisberger underwent surgery on Monday after he suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee during Pittsburgh's Week 6 loss to the Miami Dolphins. "Big Ben" did return after the injury, finishing the game 15-for-26 with a touchdown and an interception.
Jones has played in 11 games over his three-year career, completing 32 of his 56 pass attempts with three touchdowns and four interceptions. He started two games in place of an injured Roethlisberger in 2015, with the Steelers going 1-1 in those contests.
