‘I Thought Something Was Stabbing Me’: Christian Kuntz Recalls Chest Injury, Updates Status

Early on in the second preseason game of the summer for the Pittsburgh Steelers, it appeared that long snapper Christian Kuntz was going to be out for a long time, based on the way he came off the field after making a tackle on a punt return.

Kuntz was holding his chest and was in a great amount of pain, and it was bad enough that he had to take a trip to the hospital immediately to get looked out.

Turns out though, it was just a bad bruise, and he plans on playing Week 1 of the season against the New York Jets on the road, holding down the long-snapping job.
