BATCH Out 4 - 6 Weeks

Steelers #2 quarterback, Charlie Batch, was hurt in yesterday's pre-season opener. Speculation was confirmed later during the game when announcers reported he suffered a broken collar bone. Early reports say he'll be out for 4 - 6 weeks (some have extended it to 8 weeks).

It looks likely that the Steelers will be in the market for another quarterback. The name Brian St. Pierre has been brought up more than once. He signed with the Arizona Cardinal in the off-season which would mean Steelers would have to make a trade if Ken Whisenhunt is willing to part with him (perhaps he would see a former Steeler for another Steeler as a fair trade).
