Skipper’s back, and he’s ready to swim with ‘real sharks’

Yeah, Tuzar Skipper knows. He heard you.

From the second Skipper was cut before the Steelers' Week 1 matchup vs. the Patriots, Steeler Nation wanted him to come back. And why not?

Skipper posted five sacks and two forced fumbles in preseason action, immediately standing out as a player who just wanted it. For a young, unproven player like the 24-year-old rookie Skipper, that matters.

Only in this case, it didn't matter enough, as the Steelers elected to roll with Anthony Chickillo and Ola Adeniyi as backup outside linebackers.
