Ben Roethlisberger left Heinz Field on Monday night with his sprained right shoulder in a sling. When he walks back in ready to play is anybody's guess. Coach Mike Tomlin called Pittsburgh's franchise quarterback "questionable" but otherwise offered little detail yesterday, less than 24 hours after Roethlisberger was pounded into the ground by Chiefs linebackers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston in the third quarter of Pittsburgh's 16-13 overtime victory.

Fiance free after arrest for suspicion of assaulting Solo

Former Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens was arrested in Seattle on suspicion of assaulting U.S. women's soccer team goalkeeper Hope Solo a day before their planned wedding.

A Kirkland Municipal Court judge released Stevens after a court appearance yesterday, saying there was no evidence connecting him to any assault, according to news reports. He was arrested early Monday for fourth-degree domestic violence assault but has not been charged.

The case is still under investigation, police said.

Stevens, 33, and Solo, 31, applied for a marriage license Thursday, according to King County records. The two, who have been in a relationship for two months, argued over whether to live in Washington or Florida after their marriage, according to court documents.
