The Pittsburgh Steelers officially waived kicker Garrett Hartley from injured reserve yesterday after he suffered a significant hamstring injury late in the preseason, a couple of weeks into his tenure as the replacement for Shaun Suisham, the team’s kicker for the last several seasons who tore his ACL in the Hall of Fame game.
That means, following the release of Josh Scobee in the wake of the Thursday night loss to the Ravens, that the Steelers have just two kickers now in the organization. The one that is actually doing the kicking, Chris Boswell, made his NFL debut Monday night, and he certainly looked the part.
