Roethlisberger, wife welcome son

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and his wife Ashley are giving thanks for their new bundle of joy.

Benjamin Roethlisberger Jr. arrived Wednesday at 10:06 p.m., according to the athlete’s website. The couple’s first child weighed 7 pounds, 1 ounce, and was just over 19 inches long. The quarterback posted Thursday that mother and baby boy were doing well.

“We want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers, it really means a lot to us. God is so good!” he wrote.

Roethlisberger has previously been scratched from Sunday’s game against Cleveland because of rib injuries.
