Another one Bites the Dust!

Pittsburgh Steelers backup QB Charlie Batch underwent season-ending knee surgery and was placed on injured reserve Friday. Batch had soreness in his knee this week and doctors found damage when Batch underwent an MRI on Thursday. The Steelers signed quarterback Kurt Kittner to replace Batch on the roster.

Kittner is a third-year veteran from Illinois. Last season he started four games and played in seven. He didn't play in any games in 2002.

Fantasy football owners are watching players drop like flies even as draft days loom ever closer. Fortunately Batch wasn't on your list of fantasy QB's (was he?).
