Betts likely to miss season with knee injury; Portis still out

Batch took over behind center in overtime of Sunday's 27-24 loss to Kansas City after starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger left the contest following a blow to the head.
WPXI-TV in Pittsburgh cited a source as saying Batch needs the wrist procedure, although it is unclear as to when the veteran backup was hurt.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin indicated after Sunday's game that Roethlisberger had sustained a "concussion-oriented thing," but wouldn't elaborate further.
With two quarterbacks potentially sidelined, the last remaining signal-caller on the current roster is Dennis Dixon. The former Oregon star was drafted by the Steelers in 2008 and has thrown just one pass in a regular-season game.
