The Pittsburgh Steelers placed kicker Chris Boswell on the team’s Reserve/Injured list Friday morning with an unspecified injury and signed free agent kicker Matt McCrane to the 53-man roster to take his place. At the conclusion of the team’s Friday practice, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin shed a little light on why the Boswell was placed on injured reserve.
Tomlin reportedly said that Boswell experienced some sort discomfort after the team’s Sunday road loss to the New Orleans Saints and that the kicker felt more of that after practicing on Thursday, according to Teresa Varley of steelers.
