Boswell, a limited participant in Thursday's Steelers practice

ALTOONA, Pa. -- Steelers kicker Chris Boswell took his first steps toward returning to the field by participating in Thursday's practice at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex.

Boswell left Sunday's game against the Browns with a concussion after getting hit in the helmet on a fake field goal attempt. As a result, Boswell entered concussion protocol and Thursday his limited participation is the first to be checked off on the list to return to play.

The participation in practice isn't a tell-tale sign Boswell will play Sunday, but with the game being on Monday night, the extra day between games is a positive sign.
