Steelers cut Suisham following setback with knee

The Pittsburgh Steelers released kicker Shaun Suisham after another injury setback, the team announced Friday.

"Unfortunately Shaun incurred a setback in his recovery from knee surgery that won't allow him to compete in a timely manner," said Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said in a statement. "Shaun has played a significant role in our success during his time in Pittsburgh. He has been the consummate professional on the field and in our community. We wish he and his family all the best in the future."

The 34-year-old kicker missed all of 2015 after tearing his ACL in the team's first preseason game.
