Mike Tomlin not ready to shut down Stephon Tuitt’s chances of playing in 2021

There has been a lot missing for the Pittsburgh Steelers in this 2021 regular season. Consistent play, a hard-nosed attitude and even valuable players. Whether it be injury, like Tyson Alualu’s broke ankle, or other reasons, the Steelers have had their share of issues which have resulted in several positions hurting for depth.

Just as Alualu is mentioned, the defensive front has been handicapped long before Alualu got injured in Week 2 vs. the Las Vegas Raiders at Heinz Field. In fact, they’ve been short-staffed all preseason with the hopes of Stephon Tuitt’s return.
