How worried are the Pittsburgh Steelers about sexual assault charges against star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger?
Let's let Steelers coach Mike Tomlin answer:
"I'm highly concerned for our franchise and for Ben personally," Tomlin told the NFL Network's Jennifer Allen on Saturday, according to the league's Web site, nfl.com.
"My concerns are many, but I think at this time it's kind of appropriate to watch these things and let these things run their course," Tomlin said. "I think it would be inappropriate for me to have strong feelings one way or another with the investigation being ongoing and so forth. Like everyone else, you watch these things unfold."
Tomlin was interviewed in Orlando, Fla., where the NFL Annual Meeting begins on Monday. He said he could not say much because police in Milledgeville, Ga., are still investigating the 20-year-old female college student's accusation.
Roethlisberger, 28, is still facing a civil lawsuit in Nevada for an alleged sexual assault in 2008.
