The NFL is poised to suspend Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for six games to start the season, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen. The suspension carries several conditions that if met, will reduce Roethlisberger’s punishment to four games and free him up to return to Pittsburgh’s starting 11 earlier in the season.

While the specifics of the conditions are not yet known, they will likely be related to Roethlisberger’s behavior and clinical evaluations.

As always, we’ll have more on this story as it breaks.
