It seemed that, after a couple of preseason games, the Pittsburgh Steelers were growing comfortable with their new kicker, former Saint Garrett Hartley, who had made all of his field goals and extra point attempts, and performed reasonably well on kickoffs.
Hartley’s signing became necessary when Shaun Suisham, of course, suffered an ACL tear attempting to make a tackle during the Hall of Fame game and was instantly lost for the season.
Hartley suffered what appears to be a significant hamstring injury of some degree that head coach Mike Tomlin seemed pessimistic about.
