Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell missed practice with an illness on Wednesday ahead of the team’s Wild Card playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens this Saturday.
Boswell did not practice in the outdoor session at Acrisure Stadium with an illness, the team announced. He is the second Steelers player to miss practice time this week due to illness, joining defensive tackle Cam Heyward, who missed his second consecutive practice on Tuesday.
Heyward said after the team’s Week 18 game against the Cincinnati Bengals that he had been dealing with the flu. Nonetheless, he played through it, earning three pass breakups.
The Steelers do not have a backup kicker on their active roster or practice squad. Matthew Wright, who had been with the team in training camp, finished the season on the practice squad of the Tennessee Titans.
