Jeff Reed, In a season where the Steelers have been losing so many field goals in nine games as they had in the past three years the club has released the veteran kicker Jeff Reed.

Reed, who began the season as one of the 10 most accurate kickers in NFL history, cemented his fate on Sunday night by shanking a field goal from 26 yards against the Patriots.

It was Steelers kicker from the middle of the 2002 season, but will be replaced by former kicker for the Redskins and Cowboys Shaun Suisham.

He was drafted by the Steelers on Tuesday at Heinz Field. He missed seven of 22 attempts this season, including his four attempts from 40 – and 49-yard lines. He lost only eight combined in 62 attempts in 2008 and 2009 seasons.
