Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Byron Leftwich left the Steelers preseason game against the Panthers with a left knee injury and did not return.
Leftwich is assumed to be the starting quarterback for the games that Ben Roethlisberger will be out while serving his suspension at the beginning of the season. Dennis Dixon, who would most likely be the next in line if Leftwich was ruled out of Sunday's game, came in and threw a 23 yard touchdown strike to rookie receiver Emmanuel Sanders.
The Steelers also have veteran quarterback Charlie Batch on the roster.
