Chiefs To add insult to injury

Misplaced_Chiefs_Fan · 11-23-2009, 09:45 AM

ESPN's web site is reporting that Charlie Batch has a wrist injury that will require surgery. He may be out for up to six weeks.

With Big Ben waiting for his evaluation for concussion, Pittsburgh could be down to their third string QB for next weeks game.

With Charlie Batch expected to miss six weeks of action and Ben Roethlisberger's status up in the air, the Steelers need to work on finding quarterback depth.

NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reports the team has begun to make calls, including one to Cleo Lemon. It's uncertain how serious the team's interest level is in Lemon.

Even if Roethlisberger is able to play this week, the team may want another body around to learn the system as insurance. Injured reserve sounds like an option for Batch.

UPDATE: Old buddy Aaron Wilson reports for NFP that Jeff Garcia has also been called by the Steelers. The team is expected to conduct a tryout Tuesday.

Garcia would make the most sense.

How do you injure yourself handing it off twice and throwing it away once?

Exactly. When did Batch get hurt?

We out-physicalled THE physical team.

Love it.

On a side note, unfortunately, teams that play the Steelers usually fall flat on their face the following week due to being beat up.

Hopefully we can buck the trend.

I just read that Steelers OG Kemoeatu is also out for a sprained MCL.

Makes me wonder if WE have more injuries than just Kolby Smith.

We may be competitive for 3 Qtrs.... though I said that about Squeelers... Maybe there is something to "reverse mojo".

Did anybody ever find out how this happened? Batch was only in for one series.

I fully expect to get our asses handed to us in SD anyway. I hope I'm wrong.

I vaguely recall a running play where it looked like the RB took both the ball, and Batch's hand with him briefly.

I think it was the 3rd down play where Belcher stopped Moore short.

Too bad we can't swing a trade and send Brodie to Steel City.

You guys just freed up a spot for Denver to get into the playoffs.
