Wormley, Loudermilk Admit They Were A Bit Surprised By Tuitt’s Retirement, Eye Increased Roles This Season

As the shockwaves continue to reverberate through the Pittsburgh Steelers’ locker room following the surprising retirement announcement from defensive end Stephon Tuitt, guys like Chris Wormley and Isaiahh Loudermilk, not to mention rookie DeMarvin Leal, are left to pick up the pieces once again in place of the former standout defensive end.

Of course, Wormley and Loudermilk have some key experience already, having filled in for Tuitt last season as the defensive end missed the entire 2021 season due to a knee injury while also dealing with the tragic loss of his younger brother in a hit-and-run in Georgia.
