Charlie Batch's season is officially over, as reported by Gerry Dulac at the Post-Gazette. The Steelers today made the much anticipated move of placing the veteran on Injured Reserve, and making Byron Leftwich the No. 2 quarterback behind Ben Roethlisberger. This could very well be the end of Batch's career in Pittsburgh.
Batch broke his collarbone in the teams first preseason game while attempting to salvage a busted play in the backfield.
Also, from the same Post-Gazette article, the Steelers will be releasing former third-round pick Willie Reid, as well as veteran return-man Eddie Drummond. Both players were competing for return duties on this years squad.
Reid, the teams second third-round pick during the 2006 draft, never panned out after having his rookie year completely wiped out by injuries.
