The Steelers quest to find a healthy kicker has le them to trade for one.

According to Jeff Prosser of 1010XL in Jacksonville, Scobee is already en route to the Steelers.

Scobee was the longest-tenured Jaguars player, having worked for them since 2004, when he was chosen in the fifth round. They’re now handing the job to rookie Jason Myers.

The Steelers lost Shaun Suisham to a torn ACL in the preseason opener, and replacement Garrett Hartley suffered a hamstring injury Saturday that looked like it was going to keep him out of the regular season opener.

Now the Steelers have a reliable veteran in the last year of his contract, giving them some stability at the position going into the season.
