The Pittsburgh Steelers may have avoided a serious injury to LS Christian Kuntz, as head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters today the injury to Kuntz is short-term, according to Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Mark Kaboly of The Pat McAfee Show reported this morning that Kuntz suffered a sternum injury, and that it was believed to broken. A broken sternum typically isn’t a short-term injury, so it seems as if Kuntz’s injury may wind up being more minor. The Steelers did sign LS Jake McQuaide to serve as their long snapper in Kuntz’s absence, but it doesn’t seem as if Kuntz will miss much time.
