Ben Roethlisberger will undergo surgery on torn left meniscus
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has a torn meniscus in his left knee and will have surgery Monday morning, a league source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The source says doctors expect the procedure on Roethlisberger's knee to be "a cleanup," not a full repair of the meniscus, and this generally favors a quicker recovery, but the team won't know how long he will be sidelined until after the surgery.
There's no timetable on Roethlisberger's return, but he is expected to miss at least next Sunday's game against the New England Patriots, according to the source.
The story was first reported by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and confirmed by ESPN.

I'm sure he'll be fine in a couple of weeks.
