The NFL preseason is a ruthless beast. In front of the home crowd at Accrisure Stadium for the first time, Pittsburgh Steelers fans have already had to watch two key players leave the contest.

The first was edge linebacker Nick Herbig after he suffered a hamstring injury. Unfortunately, just as Steelers fans were getting news of his injury, long snapper Christian Kuntz stepped into the blue medical tent for evaluation after making a tackle on special teams.
