Sat Oct 3 201513:31Scobee has lost job as Steelers' kicker
Scobee has lost his job as the Steelers' kicker, Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith reports.
He missed two field goals in the fourth quarter Thursday and is 3-for-7 on field goals beyond 40 yards this year, so it is not surprising that the Steelers are making a change. Chris Boswell will sign with the team Saturday to become the new kicker.

Scobee connected on 2-of-4 field goals (36, 45) and 2-of-2 extra points in the Steelers' 23-20 overtime loss to Baltimore on Thursday.
Scobee's two misses, from 41 and 49 yards, came on consecutive fourth quarter drives that would have forced the Ravens to score a touchdown, rather than the Justin Tucker field goal that sent the game to overtime. The misses also seemed to cause coach Mike Tomlin to lose faith in his kicker, opting to forego field goal attempts on two overtime possessions, both of which ended with failed fourth down attempts. Scobee is now 6-of-10 on field goal attempts and 6-of-7 on extra points. Even if the Steelers don't bring any other kickers in to compete for the job, Scobee is a risky fantasy play.

Scobee made 2-of-2 field goals (21, 41) in the Steelers' 12-6 win over the Rams Sunday.
Pittsburgh continues to limit Scobee's scoring opportunities by attempting two-point conversions at a record pace. They were unsuccessful on their one attempt against St. Louis, and are now 3-for-4 through three games. By comparison, Scobee has converted 4-of-5 extra point attempts.

Scobee converted 3-of-4 extra points in the Steelers' 43-18 win over the 49ers Sunday.
Although the Pittsburgh offense exploded, it gave Scobee few scoring chances. After scoring touchdowns on four of their first five drives, Pittsburgh opted to go for two point conversions on two of them. When they finally did give Scobee an opportunity he missed, hitting the upright. He did not attempt a field goal against San Francisco and, after missing two field goals in Week 1, fantasy owners may want to look elsewhere for a kicker.

Scobee connected on 2-of-4 field goals (24, 44) and made his lone extra point kick in the Steelers' 28-21 loss to New England.
This was a mediocre outing for Scobee, who badley missed two other field goal attempts. While the Steelers' offense should continue to give him plenty of scoring opportunities, Scobee has already missed more field goals under 50 yards than Shaun Suisham did all of last season.
Mon Aug 31 201510:40The Jags have traded Scobee to Steelers
The Jags have traded Scobee to the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports.
The Steelers have been looking for a replacement for Shaun Suisham since he suffered a torn ACL in the Hall of Fame Game. Garrett Hartley, who was signed to fill the role, suffered a hamstring injury and is questionable for Week 1. Scobee leaves Jacksonville as the Jags' all-time leading scorer (1,022) points, and he'll likely provide stability for the Steelers despite a disappointing 76.9% success rate on field goal attempts in 2014.

Scobee converted 20-of-26 field goal attempts and all 23 extra point attempts in 2014.
Scobee has been a dependable kicker throughout his 11 years with the Jaguars, but his percentage dropped to 76.9 percent this season, his lowest since 2010. Scobee converted just 3-of-6 attempts from beyond 50 yards but was 14-of-16 between 30-49 yards. At this point, all signs point to him returning for a 12th season in Jacksonville.

Scobee converted both of his field goal attempts in Sunday's win over the Giants.
Scobee connected from 28 yards out in the second quarter and tacked on a 43-yarder to put the Jaguars ahead with less than 30 seconds remaining. The veteran is now 13-of-17 overall on the season.

Scobee converted his only extra point attempt and did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys.
Scobee is 10-of-14 on the season but has not converted a kick from 50-plus yards. At this point, he's one of the lowest-rated fantasy kickers, due in large part to a relative lack of attempts. Scobee has attempted just 15 extra points and 14 field goals. For comparison's sake, Indianapolis leads the league with 32 extra point attempts.

Scobee converted all three of his field goal attempts in Sunday's 17-9 loss to Pittsburgh.
After failing to attempt a field goal last week, Scobee provided the only points of the game for Jacksonville, connecting from 43 yards in the first quarter, 35 yards in the second and 36 yards in the third. On the season, he's 6-of-8 with three makes from 40-49 yards.

Scobee made his only field-goal attempt (36 yards) and an extra point in Jacksonville's loss to Washington in Week 2. He has nine points in two games.
The Jacksonville offense is last in the NFL and generating few sustained drives and scoring opportunities. As a result, Scobee should not be on your radar right now. It's best to hold for now and see how his prospects change when head coach Gus Bradley turns the quarterback job over to Blake Bortles.

Scobee (quadriceps) is probable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.
Scobee is a bit dinged up, but his status is in no doubt for Sunday's game. More concerning than his quadriceps is the fact that he kicks for the Jaguars.

Though Scobee (quad) acknowledged that he is not 100 percent, he expects to be ready to kick Sunday against the Eagles, the Florida Times Union reports.
After being listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday, Scobee indicated that he didn't have any pain or soreness Thursday. Further supporting the notion that he should be a go Sunday, assuming no setbacks, is that Scobee practiced fully Thursday.
Wed Sep 3 201420:21Scobee (quad) limited participant in Wednesday's practice
Scobee (quad) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Wed Sep 3 201412:15Scobee (quad) slated to kick during Wednesday's practice
Scobee (quad) is slated to kick during Wednesday's practice, John Oehser of Jaguars.com reports.
Scobee noted that if he feels good in doing so, he'll kick in Sunday's game against the Eagles, but if the kicker experiences any issues during practice Wednesday, his Week 1 availability could become cloudy.

Scobee (quad) is expected to play in the Jaguars' season opener next Sunday against the Eagles, John Oehser of Jaguars.com reports.
Scobee missed some practices this week and sat out Thursday's preseason finale with a quad issue. He'll have another week to rest, and coach Gus Bradley said he expects Scobee to be ready to go for Week 1.
Wed Aug 27 201418:16Scobee (quad) uncertain about Week 1 status
Scobee (quad) is uncertain about his Week 1 status, the Florida Times-Union reports.
Kicker-punter Kasey Redfern is on the roster for now, but Scobee's status may still be cloudy when the Jags trim their roster later this week, so the situation will be worth monitoring in advance of Week 1 for those at all inclined to employ a Jacksonville kicker.
