Defensive end Stephon Tuitt did not put a timetable on his return after injuring his left biceps, but said it will be as soon as the strength returns to his arm “and I can defend myself.”
Tuitt said his arm went numb on the second play of the game in Cleveland when he reached to drop running back Isaiah Crowell for a 9-yard loss.
But an MRI on Monday morning showed Tuitt didn’t have a biceps tear that would require surgery and possibly end his season.
“It was such a relief,” Tuitt said.
Coach Mike Tomlin left open the possibility Tuitt could play Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
