Last season was a nightmare for Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Stephon Tuitt. A combination of a knee injury as well as the loss of his brother cost Tuitt the entire season and now leaves his future in jeopardy. Steelers president Art Rooney II has said the team will leave the door open for Tuitt’s return, which sounds a lot like they don’t expect him to come back.
Either way, Pittsburgh needs to work with Tuitt and help him understand the team needs an answer sooner rather than later. Free agency starts in just a few weeks and the draft is right behind it. The defensive line becomes a huge need if Tuitt cannot return but he can’t let the team sit and wonder into the Summer.
