A decision should be made Monday on whether Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will need an elbow operation, said league sources Adam Schefter of ESPN .
Roethlisberger, 37, wants to avoid surgery, but it is the doctors who will make the decision.
Roethlisberger came out late in the second quarter of Sunday's 28-26 loss against the Seattle Seahawks, grabbing his throwing elbow after attempting a pass during the team's last training. He entered the locker room briefly but remained on the sidelines for the last two minutes of the first half and for the entire second half.
It had been labeled as questionable, but had never returned to the field.
In the absence of Roethlisberger, second-year quarterback Mason Rudolph nearly knocked the Steelers back in the fourth quarter on his first career appearance, completing 12 of 19 attempts for 112 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
