The Pittsburgh Steelers resumed practicing on Wednesday and there was no announcement from the team on defensive end Stephon Tuitt resuming practice, so it looks like it’s going to be a while longer for him.
Even if Tuitt had resumed practicing on Wednesday, and thus had his 21-day window opened as a designated-to-return player from the Reserve/Injured list, he still likely wasn’t going to play Sunday night against the Seattle Seahawks.
So, this all means that the earliest that we’re likely to see Tuitt play for the Steelers would be after the team’s bye week. Tuitt is not likely to do much of anything next week with the team on their bye so assuming he gets the green light to resume practicing in Week 8, odds are probably good that Week 10 would be the earliest he would see the field.
