With no Stephon Tuitt and possibly no T.J. Watt, the Steelers pass-rushing depth will be put to the test early this season.

T.J. Watt‘s continued holdout is a cloud hanging over the Pittsburgh Steelers entering the start of the 2021 season.

The team will already be without star defensive lineman Stephon Tuitt until at least Week 4 after he was placed on injured reserve before the season, and now Pittsburgh could be without Watt as well as he and the Steelers look to come to terms on a long term extension.
