The Steelers have signed kicker Garrett Hartley, according to his agent, after a three-way tryout today in Pittsburgh.
Hartley, 29, kicked briefly for the Cleveland Browns last season after spending parts of five seasons and another on injured reserve with the New Orleans Saints. He earned a Super Bowl XLIV ring after going 3-for-3 on field goal attempts in that game.
He put the Saints into the Super Bowl by kicking a 40-yard field goal in overtime against the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC championship game.
Hartley will replace Shaun Suisham, who tore the ACL and meniscus in his left knee in Sunday night’s preseason opener against the Vikings in Canton, Ohio.
