4 defensive tackles the Steelers could trade for after losing Stephon Tuitt

The Pittsburgh Steelers may have defeated the Los Angeles Chargers on the road in week 6, but now they have bigger fish to fry. Heading into their week 7 bye week, the Steelers discovered that they will be without defensive tackle Stephon Tuitt for the remainder of the 2019 season.

Tuitt suffered a pectoral injury against the Chargers that removed him from the game early in the first quarter. The 6th-year defensive lineman was easily on track for the best season of his career. He registered 22 tackles, 6 tackles for a loss, 3.5 sacks and 7 quarterback knockdowns through just over 5 games of play in 2019.
