Punter Daniel Sepulveda (knee) was a Friday addition to the injury report and is questionable.

As far I've read it is the same knee that he's had surgery on last year, but how bad in the injury is we don't know for sure yet. It could just be some swelling or stiffness, routine during the season or it could be worse. We'll see what happens this Sunday and next week.

If he goes. That only leaves you know who. Kee Ryst.

I'd really hate to see this team go after another Punter again in the middle of the season. DSep is having a real solid year, the last thing we need is more injuries.

Get first downs and touchdowns! Who needs a punter??

**LatrobePA** · 11-05-2011, 02:35 PM

Kept the wrong softy punter IMO...

For 3rd time, P Dan Sepulveda on IR with injury to the knee on plant leg. Injured in practice. Jeremy Kapinos signed.

The Steelers have placed punter Daniel Sepulveda on injured reserve and signed Jeremy Kapinos to their 53-man roster.

Kapinos takes over following Sepulveda's latest injury to his right knee. Kapinos did the same last December after Sepulveda tore the ACL in his right knee in Baltimore.
In four regular-season games with the Steelers, Kapinos averaged 41.1 yard per punt with a net average of 32.3 yards. The former Penn State star averaged 49.0 yards per punt with a net average of 38.8 in three postseason games.

Kapinos and Sepulveda waged a spirited battle for the punting job during the preseason. After winning the job Sepulveda averaged 46.1 yards per punt.
This is the third time he has sustained a serious injury to his plant leg since the Steelers took the former Baylor standout in the fourth round of the 2007 draft.

From the PG

Unbelievable, this kid just cannot catch a break. As much as I love DSep I knew this was going to happen again.

Kapinos had a good camp and preseason so I'm confident he can do the job.

Did he? Thinking about him punting in Pittsburgh makes me want to gouge my eyeballs out with a rusty knife so I never have to see him actually do it.

His punts were longer in net and gross yards in preseason than Sep's. I didnt want to resign D-Sep, and I hope we cut him at the end of this season and I never want to hear his name again is association with the Steelers.
