Overview

• Christian Kuntz left the Week 2 preseason game against the Buccaneers with a chest injury and did not return as he undergoes further evaluation.
• Defensive lineman Logan Lee took over long-snapping duties in Kuntz’s absence, underscoring the team’s lack of depth at the position.
• Head coach Mike Tomlin said there was “some good news” on Kuntz’s condition but declined to discuss hypothetical roster scenarios.
• The Steelers released backup long snapper Tucker Addington last week and have signaled they will likely add a replacement if Kuntz cannot practice.
• Offensive lineman Gareth Warren is in concussion protocol and outside linebacker Nick Herbig has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, compounding short-term roster concerns.
