Pittsburgh Steelers backup quarterback Byron Leftwich has a broken upper left arm and likely will go on injured reserve, ending his season.

Leftwich, scheduled again to be the No. 2 quarterback this season, was injured early in the third quarter, on his first series of the game.

However, the Steelers did receive some good news on center Maurkice Pouncey, who limped off the field in the first quarter. Pouncey has a sprained left ankle and should be fine for the start of the regular season Sept. 11.

The injury to Leftwich means that the Steelers will keep both Charlie Batch and Dennis Dixon as quarterbacks behind Roethlisberger. The two had been competing for the third and final spot on the depth chart at the position.

Veteran Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Byron Leftwich suffered a broken arm tonight against the Atlanta Falcons. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that the former top-ten draft pick will be out for a while.

The injury leaves the Steelers with three healthy quarterbacks: Ben Roethlisberger, Dennis Dixon, and Charlie Batch.

Even though he signed his one-year tender as a restricted free agent, Dennis Dixon might be the odd man out as the No. 3 quarterback.

The Steelers will keep four quarterbacks through training camp in case there is an injury to one of the backups. But right now it appears Charlie Batch, not Dixon, will be kept as the backup behind Ben Roethlisberger and Byron Leftwich.

Batch, 36, showed last season he could still be an effective backup, helping the Steelers to a 3-1 start when Roethlisberger was serving a four-game suspension. Batch is in his 14th NFL season.

Ben Roethlisberger is off suspension

Daniel Sepulveda, backup quarterback Byron Leftwich and kicker Jeff Reed dressed Sunday afternoon for the final, fall weekend with a noticeably vacant locker stall in their midst.

The locker belongs to Ben Roethlisberger.

"We're looking forward to having him back, absolutely," Sepulveda said of the Steelers' quarterback, who sat out the last contest of his four-game NFL suspension.

Today, Roethlisberger may reconvene football conversations with his teammates and coaches, return to the Steelers' South Side facility, rejoin meetings and practice this off week, and resume his on-field play and off-field persona that has attracted detractors since a March incident in Milledgeville, Ga.

"I like the character of this team," receiver and offensive captain Hines Ward said after their Roethlisberger-less record fell to 3-1 with a last-minute, 17-14 loss to Baltimore at Heinz Field. "I like the players that we have. And we get our franchise guy back."

"I'm excited to have Ben back," added linebacker Lawrence Timmons, after a game-high 13 tackles and one of the Steelers' two quarterback hurries. "A Pro Bowl quarterback. Two-time Super Bowl champion. Just get ready for Cleveland."
