Steelers QB Dennis Dixon is currently out with torn lateral meniscus cartilage and original reports suggested he would be out a few weeks.
But could the Steelers place him on injured reserve? Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette seems to suggest it's possible.
The Steelers have no plans to place quarterback Dennis Dixon, who had surgery to repair a torn lateral meniscus last Wednesday, on injured reserve this week. When Roethlisberger returns, however, they will have to make room for him on their 53-man roster and are not likely to keep four quarterbacks.
Roethlisberger will be back in Week 6 after the Steelers Week 5 bye.
Head coach Mike Tomlin says Dixon is expected to miss 4-6 weeks. Tomlin seemed open to the idea that Dixon could be placed on IR.
