The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette speculates that Ben Roethlisberger could be at risk of a lengthy suspension if he happens to be charged following accusations of sexual assault.

Our View:Again, let's be clear that Roethlisberger would have to be charged before NFL commissioner Roger Goodell would take any potential action. Authorities are currently investigating the March 12 incident that resulted in accusations by a 20-year-old girl of sexual assault, and it's unclear at this point what sort of evidence the girl has against Roethlisberger. There's nothing anyone can do here but wait and see what sort of details emerge.

In troubling news out of Georgia, TMZ is reporting that Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has again been accused of sexual assault. This is the second time in less than a year that such allegations have been brought against the two-time Super Bowl champion.

Our View:Facts are scarce at the moment, and Roethlisberger has yet to be charged with a crime , but he has been interviewed by police. Obviously, stay tuned.

According to the Boston Globe, Ben Roethlisberger has bowed out of this year's Pro Bowl due to a shoulder injury.

Our View:Roethlisberger was the first alternate for the AFC and was slated to take Tom Brady's spot, who also pulled out. Big Ben was having some issues with his throwing shoulder in the final game of the regular season, so he's playing it safe. He's not scheduled or expected to require any medical attention for the injury, and now Houston's Matt Schaub will replace him in Miami.

Steelers owner Art Rooney II envisions head coach Mike Tomlin being the team's coach for a "long period of time," according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Tomlin currently has only one year remaining on the initial four-year contract he signed in 2007.

Our View:Rooney praised the fact that Tomlin coaxed a three-game winning streak out of the Steelers to end the season after the club lost five straight, killing its playoff hopes. "It showed something about Mike that he's not going to let a team give up on itself," he said. "That's the kind of coach we thought he was, and I think he obviously had a significant challenge to get us through this year. While there were disappointments about the season, that aspect of it was a good sign for the future."

According to NFL.com, the Steelers have agreed to terms with Sean Kugler to become the team's offensive line coach.

Our View:Kugler was with the Bills last season and the Steelers think he'll be an upgrade over Larry Zierlein, who was fired after the regular season ended. The line has had problems protecting Ben Roethlisberger the last few years.
