Charlie Batch's injury during the 2nd quarter of Friday's preseason game leaves the Steelers in somewhat of a bind.
Coach Mike Tomlin said they look to sign another veteran quarterback. Among those fitting the veteran criteria and currently available are Daunte Culpepper and Byron Leftwich.
There are several sites reporting that the Steelers HAVE signed BOTH Culpepper and Leftwich! ProFootballTalk.com (PFT) and TIOPS say their sources have told them the team will add two veteran quarterbacks. TIOPS is saying that Mike Potts will be released and Culpepper will be at camp today and the speculation for signing both quarterbacks is said to be because Charlie Batch's injury is more serious than originally thought and will be out longer than anticipated - perhaps for the season.
My husband feels that the Steelers are more likely to keep Culpepper rather than Leftwich for the simple reason that Culpepper played for the Vikings -- the team Tomlin was previous a Defensive Coordinator for.
