The Pittsburgh Steelers defense was without one of its key players on Sunday with fifth-year defensive end Stephon Tuitt sidelined due to an elbow injury that he suffered late in the team’s previous game against the Carolina Panthers.
The question now is for how long that will keep him on the shelf, especially considering that he was playing some of his best football of the season leading up to the game. He recorded a sack in three consecutive games while offering strong run defense.
“The goal is to be able to go in and play this week with my elbow [injury] that I have”, Tuitt said during a radio appearance yesterday.
