The Pittsburgh Steelers lost their preseason debut in Sunday night's Hall of Fame game. They also may have potentially lost their franchise kicker for an extended period.

Shaun Suisham sustained a "potentially significant left knee injury" head coach Mike Tomlin said following the game, according to the Pittsburgh Post Gazette's Ed Bouchette.

Suisham, in fact, has told people that there is belief he tore his ACL, according to NFL Media insider Ian Rapoport. Suisham is having an MRI today to get more clarity.

Suisham is the only kicker on the Steelers' roster, so general manager Kevin Colbert and staff will likely need to bring in a few kickers on a tryout basis this week.
