ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. --- The Steelers lost another kicker on another kickoff, lost another game and head into their final preseason game still trying to find a defense.
The next-to-last preseason game almost always features the first teams playing a full half and maybe even then some. Not in this one. Ben Roethlisberger was gone halfway through the first quarter, giving way to Mike Vick’s Steelers debut, and soon kicker Garrett Hartley left the field unplanned.
Hartley departed with a right hamstring injury that occurred on his kickoff following his 28-yard field goal. Unlike Shaun Suisham, Hartley never ran down field to try to make a tackle.
