Tackle Max Starkshttp://www.steelers.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.steelers.com/team/roster/max-starks/7df7af66-c7ff-472b-bcd8-a6a73f94467a/) was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday after an MRI revealed he had a herniated disc in his neck.

The Steelers had to juggle their offensive line against the Bengals after getting hit by a rash of in-game injuries and things haven’t eased up as they prepare to take on the New England Patriots (http://www.patriots.com/) on Sunday night.

“Max has been my blind side for a while now,” said quarterback Ben Roethlisbergerhttp://www.steelers.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.steelers.com/team/roster/ben-roethlisberger/54dda34e-9e43-4c57-9397-1143ddced5d6/). “You never like to lose a guy like that that you have confidence in."

Starks started seven games for the Steelers this season at left tackle, missing the Tennessee game with an ankle injury. He started all 16 games for the black and gold in 2009.

“It’s a huge loss,” said guard Chris Kemoeatuhttp://www.steelers.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.steelers.com/team/roster/chris-kemoeatu/0d696080-a402-4613-bcc8-986b8708cb85/). “We pray for Max and hopefully he gets well soon. We have guys ready and capable of stepping up and getting the job done.”...........
