Makes preseason debut Boswell converted on his lone extra-point try in Thursday's 24-16 preseason win over the Eagles.

Impact Boswell didn't see the field in last week's Hall of Fame Game against the Cowboys, while Samuel Sloman converted on one of his two field-goal attempts during the contest. The 30-year-old took the field for an extra-point try in the first half Thursday, but Sloman saw work in the second half and made his lone field-goal attempt while also drilling a pair of extra-point tries. The two should continue to compete for kicking duties during the preseason, but Boswell has six years of experience in the league and made 19 of his 20 field-goal attempts last year.

Puts in full Thursday workout Boswell (groin) practiced without restrictions Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Boswell was unavailable for Pittsburgh's Week 17 matchup against the Browns, watching from the sidelines as Matthew Wright knocked down all three of his field-goal attempts as well as his lone point-after try. It remains to be seen who will suit up Sunday against Cleveland, but Boswell is currently the only kicker on Pittsburgh's active roster. With the veteran amidst a career season that included a 95 percent conversion rate, it's probable Boswell gets the nod in a high-leverage spot.

Limited participant Wednesday Boswell (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Boswell last suited up in Week 15, but he'll hope to show enough progress in practice this week to handle kicking duties for Sunday's wild-card round matchup with the Browns. If Boswell can't go, Matthew Wright would continue to fill in.

Could play in wild-card game Head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Boswell (groin) will try to work his way back for Sunday's wild-card game against the Browns, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site...

Impact Boswell returned to full practice participation last Wednesday before sitting out the final two sessions of the week. It's unclear if he aggravated his injury, but he'll try to shake the injury for the first round of playoffs. Boswell's status should be more clear when the Steelers reveal their first practice report of the week this Wedesday. Matthew Wright -- who has made all four field-goal attempts and all seven extra-point tries in Boswell's place this year -- will kick for the Steelers on Sunday if Boswell can't go.

Ruled out for Sunday Boswell (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Cleveland.

Impact Boswell did not participate in practice Thursday or Friday and will consequently miss his second straight contest. The veteran kicker practiced in full Wednesday, so it's unclear if he reaggravated the groin issue or is simply receiving an extra week of rest with Pittsburgh gearing up for the postseason. Matthew Wright was called up from the practice squad last week to kick for the Steelers and will likely return to the role Sunday.

Misses practice Boswell (groin) did not practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Boswell practiced in full Wednesday, so it's possible that he's only receiving a day of workload maintenance. The Steelers have already announced that a number of key starters will sit Week 17, so if there are any lingering questions regarding Boswell's health he could end up being rested for the playoffs.

Questionable Week 16 Boswell (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Impact The 29-year-old was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, and he was unable to participate at Friday's practice. The Steelers figure to promote Matthew Wright from the practice squad Saturday if Boswell's availability remains in question.
