The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking at veteran defensive end Nick Eason as a potential replacement for Travis Kirschke if Kirschke is sidelined Nov. 9 against the Denver Broncos with a calf injury. Eason would be starting ahead of first-round draft pick Ziggy Hood. "We like the experience factor," defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau said. "We have great confidence in Nick Eason. He's played for us and delivered for us. We won't hesitate to use him if Travis is out." The Steelers are still waiting to find out if Kirschke and linebacker Lawrence Timmons (ankle) will be able to play against Denver. "It's too early to call," LeBeau said. "I am happy we have a bye week. That will give them extra days."

Ziggy doesn't suck. Just needs more reps in complicated D.
