On Sunday the Steelers QB spoke with Pittsburgh Post Gazette reporter Ron Cook about his recovery time table and the progress he's made.
Cook offered these quotes from Ben Roethlisberger on Twitter.
Ben Roethlisberger on doctor visit Friday: "It was a good report. I got to bypass the tennis ball throwing for a month and go right to the football. Still going to be about 2.5-3 months until I get total clearance from doc but we are doing good!

Ben Roethlisberger on throwing a football Saturday for the first time since his elbow surgery: "It felt amazing to throw. It was hard to hold the smile in. 2 more throwing sessions while I’m out here in California and then headed back to the burgh."
