"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger won't play in the team's preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday,&amp;nbsp;Roethlisberger told Pittsburgh sportswriter Dejan Kovacevic.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roethlisberger has appeared in all three of the Steelers' preseason games thus far, receiving increased playing time each week. He's combined to go 24-of-37 for 331 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in the preseason.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Top 10 players living on their past reputations&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the veteran's absence, backups Landry Jones, a rookie, and Bruce Gradkowski will likely receive the bulk of the snaps.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roethlisberger, 32, is entering his 11th season in the NFL, all with the Steelers. He threw for 4,261 yards, 28 touchdowns and 14 interceptions last season.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Though Pittsburgh traditionally renegotiates contracts for quarterbacks when they have two years left on their deals, as Roethlisberger currently does, the team said last week that a new contract won't be discussed with Roethlisberger until after the 2014 season.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pittsburgh Steelers defense not crazy about new penalties&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- &lt;em&gt;Ben Estes&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
