BATCH OUT OF COMMISSION?

The Steelers always seem to have a feel good story? A story of over achieving? Overcoming the odds? Enter Baron Batch. The seventh-round selection out of Texas Tech made a name for himself in training camp with his blocking and his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield... which may be an inherent trait playing college for pass happy Texas Tech. Still, the kid seemed like he was set to make the club. Not the practice squad but the team. Well, Steelers Country is collectively holding their breath for the rookie after he was carried off of the practice field today with a possible serious knee injury. He got injured making a cut during a drill. As of press time, there's no word on his condition. This is one of the few times I want a Steelers player to be injured- injured with a sprained knee. Because a sprained knee ligament may be a lot better than a torn ACL. Stay tuned.
