The Steelers are contemplating cutting kicker Jeff Reed, who missed his seventh field goal of the season in Pittsburgh's 39-26 loss to New England on Sunday night. ESPN Insider Adam Schefter reports that Pittsburgh will bring in kickers for workouts on Tuesday. After the loss, Reed called into question the quality of the turf at Heinz Field. "I'm not one to make excuses," Reed told The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "I'll take the credit for the miss. It was a great snap, a great hold, great protection. It's kind of hard when you plant your foot and the hole -- a piece of ground moves where the ball's under the holder. I almost missed the ball completely. "I'm not going to make excuses. If you've played any kind of sports in your life, you realize that what we play on is not very good turf. It happens."
