Should long snapper Christian Kuntz miss Thursday’s preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers, defensive lineman Logan Lee probably won’t be asked to fill in again. The Pittsburgh Steelers worked out several long snappers Sunday, bringing in Rick Lovato, Jake McQuaide, Taybor Pepper, and Patrick Scales per the NFL’s official transactions sheet.
Kuntz was injured on the Steelers first punt last night, attempting to make a tackle on a long return by Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Tez Johnson. Kuntz immediately grabbed his chest and was examined by trainers before leaving for the locker room. Post-game, head coach Mike Tomlin indicated the team received “good news” on Kuntz’s injury, but it still could be serious enough to hold him out of the team’s final exhibition game.
