Reed says he also underwent an evaluation

Seems that Ben Roethlisberger isn’t the only Steeler that has been ordered to undergo an evaluation. Kicker Jeff Reed said today that the league also made him undergo an evaluation after he became involved in an alcohol-related dispute with Pittsburgh police following a home game in October.

Reed was cleared in that case after completing 40 hours of community service. Earlier last year, he paid a fine after police near Pittsburgh accused him of damaging a paper towel dispenser and harassing employees at a convenience store a few weeks after the Steelers won the Super Bowl.

Reed’s NFL-mandated evaluation apparently was similar to that recently completed by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who was suspended six games for violating the league’s personal conduct policy after a Georgia college student accused him of sexually assaulting her in March.

While discussing Roethlisberger’s problems Thursday, Reed revealed that he also was required by the league to undergo an unspecified evaluation.
