Overview

  • Mark Kaboly reported the injury is believed to be a broken sternum that could sideline Kuntz for weeks to months.
  • Mike Tomlin on Monday described the issue as short term, and Kuntz was on the practice field after the game.
  • Pittsburgh worked out Rick Lovato, Taybor Pepper, Patrick Scales and Jake McQuaide on Sunday before signing McQuaide.
  • The Steelers have not placed Kuntz on injured reserve as evaluations continue ahead of Thursday’s preseason finale.
  • Defensive lineman Logan Lee handled emergency long-snapping against the Buccaneers and earned praise from Tomlin for his steadiness.
