So there you have it.
There's the reason he had 0 snaps.
Fillipponi joined The Starkey and Mueller Show to talk about his report and you can hear the audio below:
Ben Roethlisberger talked on his weekly show with The Cook and Poni Show about Rogers and was asked what he has to do to get himself back on the field before this news broke.
"Just stay focused," Roethlisberger said. "He needs to stay focused on being the best he can be."
Offensive coordinator Todd Haley also addressed Rogers' issues as reported on by Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Steelers beat writer Ray Fittipaldo.
Todd Haley on healthy scratch Eli Rogers: "He has to show he's accountable and that we can trust him and that he's the same guy every day."
