Right now, Batch is starter and putting together offensive plan for him. Let practice determine if Ben can change that, or Leftwich

If Beachum really will be RT, you can pretty much wipe Heath Miller’s number from the passing playbook. He’ll stay in to help all day.

Moving right guard Ramon Foster to right tackle and playing either David DeCastro or Doug Legursky at guard is an option.

At least Tomlin takes responsibility when things don't go well.

In summation, Adams out, Woodley doubtful. O-line may reshuffle. Big Ben could yet convince coaches he can play. Polamalu, ABrown may return

Start Charlie Batch, bottom line. Ravens will underestimate any passing game at all, if we can get Brown back in the game, with Wallace, Sanders and Plax, all we need to do is throw 8 yard slants and 7 yard outs to move the chains while running the ball with Dywer up the gut. The Defense should be able to contain the Ravens offense and maybe we can pull out a victory with Field Position and solid ball security.

If that's all your going to do, start Hoyer. He'll at the very least be able to throw the ball that far.

This press conference provided quite a bit of information. It would be great to see a lot of people come back and play in an extremely important game. The only thing, I want everyone to be one hundred percent.

Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin was able to deliver some good news on the injury front with some players who have been battling injuries working their way back to playing.Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw the ball on Monday and Tomlin said he “Will take steps towards playing this week. We’ll leave the door open for him. He’s got a chance.” In addition Byron Leftwich threw some on Monday, but Tomlin made it clear that Charlie Batch is the starting quarterback at this point for Sunday’s game against the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.
“Right now Charlie Batch is our quarterback,” said Tomlin. “We are working offensively to put together a plan to complement his strengths. That is our plan until otherwise. These guys will be participating in some form or fashion. We’ll let that participation or the result of the participation guide us in terms of their availability as we push to the later part of the week and see where those guys are a little later in the week. As we sit here today and we are preparing and putting together a plan we are doing so with Charlie Batch being our quarterback.”
Receiver Antonio Brown is going to practice and at this point is scheduled to play against the Ravens. In addition, safety Troy Polamalu is expected to practice this week and could play on Sunday. Tackle Willie Colon, who missed the Browns game, is improving and may rest a little early in the week, but has a “strong chance” of playing. Receiver Jerricho Cotchery ran on Monday and is expected to be a partial participant in practice on Wednesday with as Tomlin said, “An eye toward playing.”
“We are looking to get some guys back potentially but we are not going to hold our breath in that regard. We are going to continue to focus on reading the guys that are healthy and holding those guys to the standard that we are accustomed to, which is winning football.”
Linebacker LaMarr Woodley is considered doubtful at this point with an ankle injury and if he can’t play he will be replaced by Jason Worilds in the lineup. Tackle Mike Adams has been ruled out for Sunday with an ankle injury, and will be replaced by fellow rookie Kelvin Beachum.
