San Francisco 49ers K Joe Nedney will likely miss Sunday’s game against Tampa Bay with a knee injury.

The 49ers will join the crowd of teams in search of a kicker this week.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have cut K Jeff Reed and signed K Shaun Suisham. Reed, who has a history of off-field incidents, was just 15-22 this season on field goal attempts. The nail in the coffin was likely a 26-yard miss against New England during Week 10. Suisham is the typical journeyman kicker, having bounced around [...]
