Boswell missed 2nd practice in row, which bodes well for Randy Bullock getting to kick in second game for #Steelers

On Wednesday, Foster was non-injury related, today he was chest
— Chris Bradford (@PghBradford) December 8, 2016
Foster absence is intriguing. He sat Wednesday but not because of injury. Now he sits Thurs with chest injury. Only 1 more practice left

Was off-the-cuff, semi-tongue-in-cheek. But also telling, what with Timmons' contract up in offseason. 3 years w/decent bonus, low salaries?
