Stephon Tuitt – Tuitt has been ruled out after dealing with a hyperextended elbow following Week 10. This is his first game he’ll miss this season, as Tyson Alualu will get the start. This will likely be the first time LT Walton sees the field since Week 2. Tuitt just had his second child on Friday, so missing the game may not be a bad thing.
Marcus Gilbert – Gilbert will miss his fourth consecutive game because of knee trouble. Matt Feiler will remain the starter in his absence. So far, Feiler has given Pittsburgh no concern to rush Gilbert back, which is a good thing as they prepare him for a playoff push.
