http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/1237 Recent articles about Charlie Batch en-us Let's review here.  The Steelers are reeling from back-to-back losses, the latest to a Kansas City team who had no business being in the game with them.  Their star quarteback, Ben Roethlisberger, gets knocked out of the game with a slight head injury, slight enough that Ben was lobbying to go back in the game if the Steelers got the ball again.  But they don't get the ball and making matters worse, their capable back-up breaks his wrist.  Roethlisberger p...

Backup Charlie Batch somehow broke his wrist during his brief stint on Sunday. He’s undergoing surgery and is basically lost for the season.

[ESPN] That hurts. Ben got bumped on the head on Sunday and Baltimore is up next on the schedule. They're going to take their shots at Ben, and if he goes down, Dennis Dixon is the only backup. While I love Dixon as the backup of the future, he has no real-game experience and Baltimore may not be the best team to break into the league against (although it did work for Ben). The good news is that if the playoffs started tomorrow, the Stee...

Steelers backup Charlie Batch will be out six weeks because he suffered a wrist injury in Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs that will require surgery, ESPN.com reported today. Batch was playing because Steelers starter Ben Roethlisberger took a knee to the helmet in overtime. Roethlisberger's status for Sunday's game against the Ravens is uncertain. He will undergo tests today to determine if he sustained a concussion and the seriousn...

Charlie Batch, who came in relief of the injured Ben Roethlisberger in overtime and took just a few snaps, apparently suffered a wrist injury that will require surgery.Next in line would be Dennis Dixon, who has thrown one pass in an NFL game.
