They trail both Cincinnati (8-3) and Baltimore (6-5, tiebreaker) in the AFC North. Currently, Jacksonville (6-5) and Denver (7-4) stand in their way of a Wild Card berth as well. After the loss, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin promised to "unleash hell" on the rest of the NFL in the month of December.

The Steelers may opt to rest quarterback Ben Roethlisberger this weekend. He left last Sunday's loss to the Chiefs with a concussion. Roethlisberger practiced all week, but sources told NFL.com that Pittsburgh may sit the quarterback as a precaution.

The Steelers have brought in veteran quarterbacks Patrick Ramsey and Todd Bouman.

Ben Roethlisberger practiced despite sustaining a concussion against Kansas City and is expected to play Sunday in Baltimore. While Roethlisberger went through a usual Wednesday practice, second-year quarterback Dennis Dixon took more snaps than usual.

Ahead of this week's game against the Ravens, Pittsburgh signed a former member of their team, cornerback Corey Ivy. "With every team, you?re going to see a foundation under the offense," wide receiver Mark Clayton said. "From that, you have your variations, and we certainly have our variations that don?t allow you to really just key in on our stuff. So I can?t say that it?ll help much." Similarly, cornerback Frank Walker said that Ivy might not have much information regarding the Ravens defense, which has changed since last season. "Everything changes from year to year," Walker said. "We?ve got a completely different defensive coordinator from last year. So you can say what you want, but the reality is that it may be the same concept with different people, but you never know. ? To a certain extent, he?s going to tell them what he knows or what he thinks he knows ? which any player would do."

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin expects quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to play on Sunday and is hoping that Charlie Batch can return this season. Tomlin said Batch may miss 2-4 weeks after having a metal plate inserted in his wrist, which he broke in this past Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Roethlisberger hasn't had any concussion symptoms after taking a hit to the head this past weekend.

Backup Charlie Batch hurt his wrist in limited duty this past weekend and he'll miss time after undergoing surgery. Dennis Dixon will be Pittsburgh's No. 2 quarterback. Roethlisberger "seems to be fine," a source close to the situation told the Post-Gazette.

Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch has a wrist injury that will require surgery and sideline him for at least a month. Batch played just four plays on Sunday after taking over for Ben Roethlisberger, who suffered a head injury in the same game. His injury leaves Pittsburgh in a tough situation should Roethlisberger not be able to play in this coming Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Tests will determine whether Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will miss this weekend's showdown with the Ravens. Roethlisberger left Sunday's loss to the Chiefs in overtime after taking a knee to the head. "He took a blow," coach Mike Tomlin said. "We will have more information as we proceed."
