Steelers cut Suisham

PITTSBURGH — Shaun Suisham’s lengthy run with the Pittsburgh Steelers is over. It appears the longtime kicker’s career may be in jeopardy, too.

The team released Suisham on Friday after he failed a physical. The 34-year-old is recovering from a torn ACL in his left knee suffered during the Hall of Fame Game last August.

The team hoped to bring Suisham to training camp, where he would compete with Chris Boswell for the starting job.

Suisham joined the Steelers in 2010 and converted 124-of-141 field goal attempts through the 2014 season. In a statement, Suisham described the knee injury as “catastrophic.”
