With Boswell in concussion protocol, Steelers sign veteran PK to practice squad

The Steelers feel good about the potential for placekicker Chris Boswell to make it through concussion protocols in time to be cleared to play in their next game, Monday night against the Bears at Heinz Field.

But if he isn't cleared, the Steelers made a move to cover themselves, signing veteran placekicker Josh Lambo to their practice squad on Tuesday.

Boswell was injured in Sunday's 15-10 victory over the Browns at the end of the first half on a fake field goal attempt. After taking a direct snap, Boswell rolled to his right, looking for tight ends Zach Gentry or Pat Freiermuth in the end zone.
