    Broken arm puts backup Leftwich on bench

    Broken arm puts backup Leftwich on bench
    By Mark Kaboly, PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW
    Sunday, August 28, 2011


    Steelers backup quarterback Byron Leftwich broke his left arm in the third quarter Saturday night and likely will be out for the season.

    But coach Mike Tomlin refused to say that after a 34-16 victory against the Atlanta Falcons.

    "I don't have the time he is going to be out, but I am sure it will be an extended period of time," Tomlin said.

    Leftwich suffered the injury when he landed awkwardly after scrambling for 6 yards. He immediately ran to the sideline screaming in pain.

    "It is disheartening," receiver Antonio Brown said. "To see him in that type of pain really hurt me."

    Leftwich was wheeled through the locker room after the game on a gurney as teammates and coaches wished him well.

    Ugh damn damn damn! One hell of a back up for us, but looks like we gotta keep Dixon this season and fight through adversity.

    Sucks. I guess they will go with Ben, Batch, and Dixon and not bring anyone in.

    I don't know...even with Leftwich, if Bengoes down fora long period of time, I'm not confident in any of the 3...

    Unfortunately I don't think we have enough great players to pull that off... Nice idea though.

    Kurt Warner would probably love to play for the REAL Steelers team.
