Chris Boswell Ruled Out For Week 8
2 years agoThe Pittsburgh Steelers ruled out kicker Chris Boswell (groin) for the Week 8 game against the Philadelphia Eagles due to his groin injury. Boswell was listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report, but he's now been downgraded and won't kick on Sunday. The 31-year-old apparently injured his groin at practice later in the week, but it remains to be seen if this is a multi-week injury. It looks like the Steelers will have to scramble for a replacement at the position this week against the undefeated Eagles, who have been a bad matchup for kickers in fantasy. Whoever the Steelers go with at kicker should be avoided in fantasy. Pittsburgh has a bye in Week 9, so perhaps Boswell will be ready to go for a Week 10 meeting against the New Orleans Saints.
