    A slimmed-down Ben Roethlisberger whistled practice passes to his receivers for the first time in five weeks, and a teammate didn't need to watch video tape to know what he'd just seen.

    "He's been working hard at home," defensive end Brett Keisel said. "He wants to be great this year. So, hopefully, he will [be]."

    Steelers receiver Mike Wallace was glad to have the Steelers' "leader" back practicing with the team.

    "He's a man and everybody makes mistakes. I just feel like he's the leader of our team. Anytime he comes back we accept him for who he is," Wallace said.

    The two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback didn't talk to reporters after practicing Tuesday for the first time since drawing a six-game suspension April 21 for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.
