Stephon Tuitt to Miss Remainder of Season with Pectoral Tear

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be without defensive end, Stephon Tuitt, for the remainder of the season.

According to Chris Mortensen, Stephon Tuitt suffered a pectoral injury during the first half of the Steelers' Week 6 game in Los Angeles. After an MRI, it was confirmed that he tore his pectoral and will be out the remainder of the season. Tuitt had 3.5 sacks through six games for the Steelers. 

Tyson Alualu will replace Tuitt. The former first-round pick has been the primary backup on the defensive line since signing with the team in 2017.  He's accumulated 12 tackles and a sack, playing in all six games this season.
