PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger walked with no noticeable limp three days after injuring his right foot in Sunday's AFC wild-card game.
"Good, thank you," Roethlisberger said from his locker when asked about the foot Wednesday in preparing for a matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional playoff.
Roethlisberger was off Wednesday but is expected to get a full practice workload Thursday and Friday. Coach Mike Tomlin said the Steelers would monitor Roethlisberger's foot closely, but he doesn't anticipate any setbacks.

During his weekly news conference Tuesday, Tomlin took responsibility for calling the passing play in a three-score game.
Roethlisberger threw for 300 yards and five touchdowns in a 43-14 win over Kansas City in Week 4, but the quarterback stresses the Chiefs, the AFC's No. 2 seed, are a different team now, with cornerbacks flying "everywhere" to the ball.
"It's pretty special what their secondary can do," Roethlisberger said.
Asked what's most important to him when trying to get a win on the road, where the quarterback is 9-7 in his past 16 games, Roethlisberger simply said, "Winning -- that's all that matters to me."
