Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell did not practice Friday and was listed on the injury report as questionable to play Sunday at the Philadelphia Eagles.

The injury report lists Boswell as having a right groin injury. It is not known when the injury occurred.

The Steelers have no other kickers on their active roster or practice squad, but they have until 4 p.m. Saturday to make changes to the 53-man roster in advance of the 1 p.m. Sunday kickoff.

Boswell was not listed on any previous injury report this week. The 31-year-old has not missed a game since sitting out three during the 2020 season. He has been the Steelers kicker for 119 of the past 124 games (including playoffs) since signing early during the 2015 season.

• Window remains open for Steelers' T.J. Watt to return from injured reserve, face Eagles
• Najee Harris believes Steelers' offense 'needs more accountability from the players'
• Matt Canada responds to fan criticism, believes Steelers still will have 'tremendous offense'

Boswell signed a four-year, $20 million contract extension in August.

Rookie Nick Sciba was with the Steelers for summer practices and the first four weeks of training camp. Sciba is the NCAA’s all-time leader in field-goal accuracy (89.9%).

Boswell is GOOD from 59 yards at the halftime buzzer.
