The Pittsburgh Steelers are checking out options at long snapper. We know Carolina’s playing-time strategy for the preseason finale against the Steelers on Thursday. Both Ohio teams in the AFC North were in the headlines over the weekend.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers received a positive update on long snapper Christian Kuntz, head coach Mike Tomlin said. “Christian Kuntz had a chest injury that’s being evaluated," Tomlin said. “I’m not gonna do hypotheticals on Christian. I think we got some good news there.”

Following the Steelers 14-17 preseason loss to the Buccaneers, HC Mike Tomlin provided an injury update on three players.

The Steelers didn’t escape Saturday’s preseason loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers unscathed. In a postgame press conference, head coach Mike Tomlin mentioned that two members of his team suffered injuries in preseason Week 2: long snapper Christian Kuntz and offensive lineman Gareth Warren.

Rodgers represents a symbol of hope for the Steelers. For the quarterback, the organization represents the same.
