Steelers QB Batch breaks collarbone

Injured Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu, left, gets a handful of sunflower seeds from defensive lineman Nick Eason on the sidelines during the preason NFL football game against the Philadelphia Eagles in Pittsburgh, Friday, Aug. 8, 2008. The Steelers won 16-10.

A sore groin didn’t slow Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first-string offense. Good thing, too, because the Steelers now face uncertainty at the backup quarterback position. Charlie Batch broke his right collarbone midway through the second quarter of the Steelers’ 16-10 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in the first preseason game for both teams Friday night.
