Tuiit

[NorthCoast]

I'm in my 40s and I'd be devastated if my brother (also 40s) passed.

I think it would be 100x worse if I was still in my 20s.

And we don't know for sure that's what it is.

Not only dying but witnessing the tragic event would send me over the edge.

Telling people how to mourn and the duration is pretty cold.

Consider the source.

I think you're right here.

Maybe not an immediate need if Cam still looks like he did last season (minus the playoff game).

But time to start thinking about it if there's good talent available when we're picking.

I think we can extend Cam's career if we have a rotation with a talented rookie.

Apparently, Tuitt has some kind of injury that could keep him out for some time.

Looks like we might have to keep an extra DL on the 53.

Tuitt has had durability issues. I think he is playing on his last big contract. Giving him credit for a full season last year would make it the only full season he's had.

Is that bad news for Snell (or some other bubble guy)?

Steelers considering putting Stephon Tuitt (knee) on injured reserve to start the season, which is why they kept 8 defensive linemen, one more than usual. Tuitt has not practiced this year.

I don't think we have any info on when... Or much on what.

Team has been tight-lipped about what's going on w/Tuitt

Why? Makes me wonder if there's something they're trying to keep covered up

Tomlin has said he is not talking about any injury on the team until he has to per the league prior to the first game. No need to tip your hand with a couple of weeks to go.

This makes sense IMO.

[NorthCoast]

A knee problem for a DL could be a season long battle. Tuitt's injury history has been spotty, i.e. not a quick recovery kind of guy.

It's official now, Tuitt to IR

[papillon]

I thought Tuitt's issues were psychological due to the death of his brother. Can you IR a player for psychological/mental reasons?
