The people in charge of a Campbell's Chunky Soup commercial had to do some recasting on Wednesday.

Ben Roethlisberger and his mother were set to start shooting the commercial at Heinz Field on Wednesday.

Production costs of close to $2 million ensured that the show had to go on after Roethlisberger crashed his motorcycle and was hospitalized on Monday.

Campbell's has recruited some of Roethlisberger's teammates to step in and sell the soup -- Max Starks, Jeff Hartings, Casey Hampton, James Farrior and Marvel Smith.
