Get caught up PITTSBURGH (AP) The Pittsburgh Steelers presented their initial tentative show of support for Ben Roethlisberger, with director of football operations Kevin Colbert saying the disgraced quarterback has earned the right to make up for his tawdry conduct.NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended the two-time Tremendous Bowl winner for 6 video games for violating the league's own conduct policy. Goodell handed down the punishment after prosecutors made a decision not to charge Roethlisberger after a 20-year-old school college student accused him of ######ually assaulting her in the Georgia nightclub previous month.Steelers coach Mike Tomlin stated Roethlisberger will difficulty a statement on Monday concerning the suspension."I know he is going to make a comment regarding the discipline of the commissioner on Monday, and I'll let him do that," Tomlin said. "My understanding is at this point is he's ready to meet those challenges and take the necessary steps to move forward with his career."Colbert's ready to assistance him."We can't defend the conduct or the actions as an organization and we won't, but we do defend his opportunity for making most suitable, and I think that's the perfect thing to do," Colbert said. "This guy has helped us win two world championships. He's made some mistakes,

Roethlisberger denies the accusation and was not charged. He has claimed counter-damages inside of a lawsuit.On April 12, Roethlisberger apologized for his off-field conduct while reading a minute-long statement and promised to work to regain the trust of his teammates and fans. He has not commented since then,

Batch broke his left wrist late last season,

"The reality is you can't get four guys ready to play in camp. Correct now, we'll work with all three of these men in the short term, see where they, get reacquainted with Byron Leftwich. ... There's a lot of teaching to be done and we're going to do that and make a decision prior to going to Latrobe (for camp)."
