During the bye week, Pittsburgh Steelers veteran outside linebacker Anthony Chickillo was arrested and charged with assault following a public incident with his girlfriend. He posted bail, and then was placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List.
Earlier this week, charges against both himself and his girlfriend were withdrawn as the two resolved their interpersonal issues, and shortly thereafter, he was activated from his exempt status, returning to practice. While it’s not clear as of yet whether or not Mike Tomlin will dress him—presumably, he will, given that they only have four outside linebackers on the roster—Chickillo spoke to reporters on Friday about the ordeal.
