Shaun Suisham has been named this week’s AFC Special Teams player of the week. Suisham was 4 for 4 on Sunday, connecting from 34, 28, 38 and 42 yards, including the game winning field goal. Suisham is 14 for 14 this season, and has made 46 of the last 47 attempts inside the 50. The guy who many once considered to be one of the bigger liabilities on the roster, has become one of the most clutch kickers in the league.
The team announced today that they have signed K Shayne Graham. Graham’s name was thrown around last night as a possible temporary solution while Shaun Suisham recovers from his hamstring injury. Suisham injured his hamstring during pregame warm ups before the Titans game and is expected to be sidelined a few weeks.
This signing makes the 14th team the 35 year old kicker has played for, including all of the AFC North teams. He holds multiple Bengals franchise records and made the pro bowl while on their roster in 2005. While kicking for the Texans last season, he made 31-of-38 field goals, and made a career long 55 yarder against the Patriots in the playoffs.
He was cut by the Browns when they reduced their roster to 53 men on August 31st.
