NFL Injury Report

Ben Agajanian safe for now

Suisham will kick -- so Shayne Graham won't

At least for now, Graham won't become the first player to score for nine different teams. No other notable injuries for the Monday Night Football game.

No notable names on the injury reports of the Steelers and Bengals. LeVeon Bell and Heath Miller are out, but we all knew that. For the Bengals, their left tackle (Andrew Whitworth) is questionable with a knee injury. Whitworth didn't play last week; he was limited in practice on Friday and today.

The most interesting name, therefore is Shayne Graham. He used to play for the Bengals, and the Steelers signed him earlier this week because Shaun Suisham hurt his hamstring in Week 1.

Neither Suisham nor Graham is a kicker you would ever want to use in a fantasy lineup this week, but Graham is close to replacing Ben Agajanian as the most traveled kicker in NFL history.

Agajanian, nicknamed "The Toeless Wonder" because he had four toes crushed in a work accident during college, kicked field goals for eight different teams that are in existence today. (And one other notable team -- the Los Angeles Dons of the All-America Football Conference, which provided the NFL with the 49ers and the Browns.)

Per Wikipedia, Agajanian is 94 years old, the 3rd-oldest living person who played in the AAFC. He spent 20 years as the kicking coach for the Dallas Cowboys.

Graham has scored points for eight teams and kicked field goals for seven. If the Steelers were to use him, he potentially could become the first with points for nine teams and tie Agajanian's record of field goals for eight teams.

But Graham seems to be on hold for now. Suisham is probable on the injury report and practiced fully on both Friday and today.
