LATROBE, Pa. -- Ben Roethlisberger will spend the next six weeks getting a feel for potentially the most explosive offense in the NFL. Still, the Pittsburgh quarterbacks mind couldnt help but wander a bit as he took the field Friday for his 13th training camp.Its why he briefly donned a No. 83 jersey during practice to pay tribute to tight end Heath Miller, who retired in February after more than a decade as Roethlisbergers security blanket. Its why he couldnt contain his optimism about the potential of Millers replacement, Ladarius Green, still recovering from offseason ankle surgery. Its why he didnt bother to mask his disappointment when asked about talented if mercurial wide receiver Martavis Bryants yearlong suspension for violating the NFLs substance-abuse policy.Roethlisberger hasnt spoken to Bryant since the discipline was announced in March. The two-time Super Bowl winner took the news personally, not just as a teammate but as a friend. When Bryant spent time at a treatment facility in Houston last September while serving a four-game suspension for a previous violation of the policy, Roethlisberger reached out to Bryant daily. To watch him run into trouble again hurt.You feel kind of let down, kind of disappointed because its like a little brother that you take under your wing that had all the potential in the world to be one of the best, Roethlisberger said. But thats on the football field. I think off the field you worry about him as a man and as a person. Ive heard hes doing better now. Thats most important.Bryant wont be back until next spring. The wait wont be nearly as long for Green, though theres still no timetable for when the teams big free-agent signee will see the field. Roethlisberger likened the 6-foot-6, 237-pound Green as a Ferrari during organized team activities, albeit one that will remain in the garage for the time being. Green said Friday theres no reason he shouldnt be ready by the start of the regular season on Sept. 12 in Washington, though Roethlisberger is anxious to get the feeling out process started.Ive heard a lot of things and enjoy talking to him, kind of picking his brain on some things, Roethlisberger said. But I would love to get him out here so I hope it happens soon.Thhe one thing that definitely wont happen is the sight of Miller jogging out to the huddle.dddddddddddd He stepped away after 11 years, 592 receptions, 45 touchdowns and countless long talks. Though rookie wide receiver Canaan Severin -- who like Miller played collegiately at Virginia -- will wear No. 83 during camp, there is no mistaking Severin with the jerseys previous owner. And to be honest, Roethlisberger would prefer not to see it at all.I dont think anyone should be wearing it right now, he said. But I wanted to wear it today hoping that maybe he would appear out of somewhere and come out and play for a little bit.Roethlisberger will instead have to settle for an offense that may be the best hes had since he broke into the league in 2004. The Steelers finished third in the NFL in yards and fourth in points in 2015 even with Roethlisberger missing four games due to injury. His busy offseason included shedding a few pounds and welcoming a third child along with his wife Ashley. The 34-year-old wore a brace on the left knee -- the one that sustained a bone bruise in a win over St. Louis last September and forced him to miss a month -- Friday as an experiment just to see how it felt.Theres no need to do it but were going to see and make sure it doesnt hinder any movements, he said. If it doesnt bother me. I might wear it as a precaution.Anything to keep Roethlisberger under center and not standing on the sideline in sweats. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Pittsburghs 11-7 run to the divisional round of the playoffs last winter is that the Steelers did it without having Roethlisberger, center Maurkice Pouncey and running back LeVeon Bell in the lineup at the same time. Pouncey missed the entire season after getting hurt in an exhibition game against Green Bay and Bell and Roethlisberger played together for about four quarters.The key is always staying healthy, Roethlisberger said. Weve had a hard time doing that the last few years. But if we can stay healthy and be a selfless team I think weve got a chance.---Online:AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
