On Monday it was reported that the Sunday bicep injury suffered by Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Stephon Tuitt in the regular season opener against the Cleveland Browns wasn’t a season-ender and on Tuesday head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed that report during his weekly press conference.
“Man, it’s really positive compared to what it could be. His injury to his bicep is not season-ending,” Tomlin said of Tuitt. “He was evaluated yesterday, we’re optimistic there. His short-term availability is in question.
“We’ll go through the week and see what he looks like day-to-day and see if he’s functional, see if he has strength, see if it’s safe and if it is, we’ll let him play.
