PITTSBURGH, PA - Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger assured fans Monday that he has no plans to retire after his season-ending elbow injury.

In a statement issued Monday, Roethlisberger said being informed he needed surgery was "shocking and heartbreaking" and that he feels he is letting people down.

"I can only trust God’s plan, but I am completely determined to battle through this challenge and come back stronger than ever next season," he said. "The Steelers committed three years to me
this off-season and I fully intend to honor my contract and reward them with championship level play. I will do all I can to support Mason and the team this season to help win games. I love this game, my teammates, the Steelers organization and fans, and I feel in my heart I have a lot
left to give."
