Tomlin Says No Extra Meeting Needed With Turner Following Sunday Disqualification

We’ll find out sometime this week if Pittsburgh Steelers guard Trai Turner will face additional punishment from the NFKL for his spitting incident in the second half of Sundays home loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. In the meantime, however, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has seemingly already moved past Turner being disqualified from the team’s Week 2 game for allegedly spitting on Raiders linebacker Marquel Lee.

On Tuesday, Tomlin was asked during his weekly press conference if he has since talked to Turner about how the veteran guard reacted on Sunday, which included him apparently retaliating for being spit on by a Raiders player, which was presumably Lee.
