Charlie Batch is the "likely candidate" to be the Steelers' backup quarterback, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Coach Mike Tomlin said that Dennis Dixon will get a chance to fight for the job this week and a final decision will be made after Thursday's preseason game. But Dixon was reportedly on the trade block earlier this month as he had fallen behind Batch on the depth chart. Batch went 3-1 as a starter during Ben Roethlisberger's suspension last season.
