Roethlisberger released a statement in which he apologized to the Steelers, fans, and his family, and said he was lucky to have survived.

"In the past few days, I've gained a new perspective on life...By the grace of God, I'm fortunate to be alive."

Big Ben stated when he rides his motorcycle "it certainly will be with a helmet."

"I never meant any harm to others nor to break any laws. I was confident in my ability to ride a motorcycle and simply believed such an accident would not happen to me."

"I look forward to being at training camp in Latrobe and winning football games this season."
