Mike Tomlin: 'Doesn't look positive' for Garrett Hartley to be ready for Week 1

The Pittsburgh Steelers may have to go out and find yet another placekicker.

Garrett Hartley, who signed with the team Aug. 11 after starter Shaun Suisham tore his ACL, suffered an injury of his own Saturday night.

Hartley is set for an MRI on his hamstring, but early indications are he won't be able to play for at least a few weeks.

Head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters after the preseason game that "it doesn’t look positive" for Hartley being ready for the Steelers' Week 1 clash with the New England Patriots.

The Steelers worked out Jay Feely and Hartley together before signing the latter, and Feely reportedly kicked just as many field goals. He could be first in line for the job if Hartley is confirmed as out.
