PITTSBURGH (AP) -The competition to temporarily replace Ben Roethlisberger as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback is becoming a one-man race.
Byron Leftwich is handling nearly all of the first-team snaps in practice, a strong indicator he will be the starter while Roethlisberger serves his six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin wants to go into training camp with what he calls a “pecking order” defined at quarterback. So far, that’s Leftwich, followed by third-year QB Dennis Dixon and longtime backup Charlie Batch.
