This is a pretty significant loss for the Steelers' defense. Mike Tomlin said he would not play in today's press conference and said that Willie Parker may be out too.

I think Nick Eason is his back up. I don't know much about the guy other than he did nothing in Cleveland and never made it in Denver because of an injury.
Re: Brett Keisel out for Sunday's game vs. the Pats
Nope, no veteran backups, no gamers. Just Eason, Kirschke, and Chris Hoke.
Keisel's not mind-blowing to begin with, but plugging Nick Eason into your DL is kind of like caulking a sunroof with Elmer's glue: after about five minutes *****'s gonna starting pouring through.

Chris Hoke has played well against the Pats in the past...I think filling in for Hampton. He's no good?

I am more concerned about our D than our offense at this stage.
Keisel is a good player. As one of the posters in the the PFT thread said, it isn't as big of a loss as losing Aaron Smith, but I think there is a significant drop off from Keisel to Nick Eason.

Well Matt Light should have easy time with Nick Eason...i a more worried Aaron Simth man handling Nick Kaczur from the 3-4. Aaron Simth has always had good games against us.

Kirschke isn't a vet? Hoke isn't a gamer? Um...ok. And furthermore Eason's been playing pretty well this year.
Kiesel will be missed most on 3rd downs but he was filled in nicely for when he went out for 4 games earlier this year. But none of the group can hold Aaron Smith's jock.
