Roethlisberger, who is recovering from surgery on his right (throwing) elbow, was on the sideline in street clothes — including an Apple Watch, which is barred by the NFL as an electronic messaging device. According to the report, Roethlisberger didn’t even realize he was wearing the watch and plans to appeal. Roethlisberger was hurt during the Steelers’ Sept. 15 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. In two games this season he completed 56.5 percent of his passes for 351 yards with no touchdown passes and one interception. He guided the Steelers to Super Bowl titles after the 2005 and 2008 seasons, and he made another Super Bowl appearance after the 2010 season.
