Though the Steelers have secured a first-round bye in the AFC playoffs, they could still claim home-field advantage throughout the postseason with a win and a Patriots loss to the Jets in Week 17. With New England a heavy favorite in its game, however, it appears the Steelers may already be conceding a Patriots victory and will instead turn their attention to resting key players Sunday, if Gilbert's comments are to be believed. More information on the status of Roethlisberger -- as well as that of Bell, who Gilbert also said wouldn't play in Week 17 -- should be known no later than shortly after inactives are released about 90 minutes before the Sunday's 1 p.m. EST kickoff. The fact that Roethlisberger was listed as a limited participant Thursday would seemingly add credence to Gilbert's acknowledgement that Jones would garner the starting nod at quarterback.
