This is an injury will fly under the radar for most people, but it will affect the team greatly. The Steelers lost their punter Daniel Sepulveda yesterday and now begin the difficult job of finding a replacement. Sepulveda was also their holder for field goals and extra points and had a banner season last year.
I just love Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin's reaction:
"We're paid to be light on our feet and react in this business, and that's what we'll do. The teams that are successful, the teams that rise in the end, are the teams that are capable of dealing with distractions and things such as this."
If you are a personnel man in the NFL, you love a head coach that has this kind of perspective.
In their search for a kicker, the Steelers will be scouting every preseason game and watching the pre-game warm-ups with great interest. So, if you're a punter with no chance to make the team you're currently punting for, know that EVERY kick you have once you take the field will be monitored.
