Byron Leftwich injury bad news for Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cleveland Browns game

A Byron Leftwich injury is certain to impact the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cleveland Browns Week 12 game. According to a report from Monday night (November 19), Leftwich has a rib injury that he sustained during a first quarter hit against the Baltimore Ravens. This has him already ruled out for the Week 12 game in Cleveland. This is horrible news for the Steelers, especially with Ben Roethlisberger out indefinitely with a rib injury of his own. This means that the team will have to resort to Charlie Batch as the starter in Week 13, even though he too is trying to come back from injury. This puts the Steelers in a very tough position, even if they are playing against the 2-8 Browns. MORE

A Byron Leftwich injury is certain to impact the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cleveland Browns Week 12 game. According to a report from Monday night (November 19), Leftwich has a rib injury that he sustained during a first quarter hit against the Baltimore Ravens. This has him already ruled out for the Week 12 game in Cleveland.

This is horrible news for the Steelers, especially with Ben Roethlisberger out indefinitely with a rib injury of his own. This means that the team will have to resort to Charlie Batch as the starter in Week 13, even though he too is trying to come back from injury. This puts the Steelers in a very tough position, even if they are playing against the 2-8 Browns.

Leftwich had to step in against the Ravens on Sunday (November 18), but the Steelers ended up losing the game 13-10. Leftwich completed just 18-of-39 passes for 201 yards and an interception. Those certainly aren’t numbers that will get the job done and it was in a game where the Steelers defense did just about all it could do to slow down Ray Rice and the Ravens.

This Byron Leftwich injury might just about ruin the season if the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cleveland Browns game turns sour for the 6-4 team. The Browns have the talent to pull off an upset like this one, especially if the Cleveland defense only has to deal with a third-string quarterback. For fantasy football owners hoping Leftwich might be in line for a big game in Week 12, this news should have everyone shy away from this game.
