After the Pittsburgh Steelers released kicker Shaun Suisham earlier today, the twelve year veteran officially announced his retirement from the NFL today.

The retirement of Suisham means that his injury suffered during the first preseason game of 2015 was more serious than anyone expected. While it was immediately determined that his season was over, not many were pronouncing Suisham's career as being over.
Suisham spent five years as a kicker for the Steelers after bouncing around the NFL for the early portion of his career.
