No. 3 Steelers quarterback Dennis Dixon, however, was not so lucky because he left in the fourth quarter with what Tomlin described as an AC joint injury to his right shoulder. In layman's terms, that is a separated shoulder, something Roethlisberger had last season but which caused him to miss no games. It depends on the degree of separation as to the time Dixon might miss. Dixon continued to look good in his role with the backup units before he was hurt. He led the Steelers on a late second-quarter drive that produced Jeff Reed's 34-yard field goal and a 10-3 lead. On consecutive plays, Dixon scrambled to his right and hit a sliding Limas Sweed for a 17-yard gain on third-and-nine,, Dixon dropped into the shotgun on first down and scrambled 16 yards up the middle. So with that it looks like Charlie Batch will once again be the 2nd string QB. I was hoping he could overtake Batch this year.
