Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the loss of defensive end Stephon Tuitt for the remainder of the season during his Wednesday press conference and within that he noted how well the former second-round draft pick out of Notre Dame had been playing prior to him going down injured. While Tomlin also addressed the Tuesday re-acquisition of defensive end L.T. Walton following Tuitt being lost fr the season, he made sure to point out that replacing the injured defensive end won’t be easy.
“Obviously it won’t be him [Walton] in replace of Stephon Tuitt, there’ll be a lot of guys, not only in the d-line room, but maybe also in the outside linebacker room,” Tomlin said Wednesday.
