Relating to his own experiences, Lewis said he advised Roethlisberger to quickly put his problems behind him.
"If you're trying to please the world, you're going to confuse yourself," Lewis said. "If you're going to worry about what people say about you, you're going to confuse yourself. All you can do is move on, live on. ... Don't let nobody pull you back into it, don't let nobody make you keep talking about it. Once it's done, it's done."
Roethlisberger also has talked with and exchanged messages with teammates, including Hines Ward, while suspended. But he is not permitted to discuss team issues. He has been training with a quarterback coach, throwing to receivers and working out to remain in game shape.
He has not played since a Sept. 2 preseason game against Carolina, and cannot play again until Oct. 17 against Cleveland. The Steelers don't play next week, but Roethlisberger can resume practicing then.
