Overview

  • Mark Kaboly reported Kuntz’s chest injury is believed to be a broken sternum, which could sideline him for several weeks to months.
  • The team hosted tryouts Sunday for Rick Lovato, Jake McQuaide, Taybor Pepper and Patrick Scales but has not signed a replacement specialist.
  • Defensive lineman Logan Lee served as the emergency long snapper during the Buccaneers game and remains the in-house contingency.
  • The earlier release of backup long snapper Tucker Addington has left the Steelers with limited specialized depth at the position.
  • With a short week before the preseason finale against Carolina, Pittsburgh is under pressure to secure reliable long-snapping coverage.
