jebrick Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Quote Ian Rapoport Verified Account @RapSheet Some good news for the #Steelers. Source says DE Stephon Tuitt is week-to-week with a biceps injury. Not season-ending. “He’s OK,” one said. Woot!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSteelers56 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 That's awesome news. Now it'll give Alualu some run with the first team and it will strengthen our depth when the big man returns. Hopefully he doesn't rush back. We need him for the future.

SlevinKelevra Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 well, I was hoping it wasn't worst case scenario, but this is about best case. hopefully he's back in 3-4 weeks at full strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Nice. I was afraid I would have start bashing the front office for giving an injury prone bum so much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus-Viktor Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 That's great news. All 3 of our DL looked good yesterday at times. I still think those 3 could end up being the strength of the team if they'd stay healthy. Yes, on par with Ben, Bell and Brown. They can dominate if they stay healthy. Those 3 healthy and dominating = easier work for the LBs and DBs to do their thing. If Tuitt goes down and his replacement isn't adequate, it could tank the entire D just like it tanked when Aaron Smith got hurt. He was proven to be the real star and anchor of that D back then, not Big Snack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I looked up torn bicep right after I saw the injury. If diagnosis was week-to-week that's code for partial bicep tear as it said rehab time is 3-4 weeks. IF you do the rehab and don't put stress on it - like running into OL every play. I hope Tuitt questionable is posturing and he sits until the partial tear can heal on its own. Not a doctor. But I can read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the big fellow rest a few weeks. Alualu can hold it down until then. Think long-term. Not short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus-Viktor Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 With Bradford out he'll be missed a lot less. It's a good time for him to be out if he's going to be. Hopefully he comes back for the games where he's needed more. Of course the Steelers almost choked last week to a Clowns team that is worse than a decimated Vikings team though, so who knows?
