Once the offseason got underway, many wondered what the future of the defensive line room for Pittsburgh Steelers would look like in 2022. The thought was that Tyson Alualu and Stephon Tuitt would be back with the team after missing the 2021 season with their own injuries, as well as the tragic loss of Tuitt’s brother. Still, there was skepticism as to whether Alualu would make a return after fracturing his ankle for his age 35 season and if Tuitt would be able to battle back to make it back on the field after dealing with his own knee injury and the loss of a family member.
