ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Roethlisberger was deemed a high-risk, close contact. “Provided he passes COVID tests this week, he would be eligible to come off the list Saturday and play Sunday against the Bengals,” Schefter reported.

The Bengals currently have five players of its own on the COVID-19 reserve list coming off a bye week this past weekend.

The Bengals travel to Pittsburgh Sunday for a 1 p.m. game.

The Steelers currently are undefeated this season.
