Hold the line: Steelers like depth with DE Tuitt uncertain

Associated Press  

PITTSBURGH — Chris Wormley is ready to do whatever the Pittsburgh Steelers ask. “I think, you know, him being around us has been great not only for us but for him.” Tomlin declined to get into specifics when asked Monday about Tuitt’s availability for the opener. They assist in the coaching and maturation of the young guys.” While the Steelers did lead the NFL in sacks for a fourth straight season — with Tuitt, Wormley, Cam Heyward and Alualu combining for 18 of the team’s 54-sack total — they did wilt a bit against the run down the stretch. “I think the biggest thing for all of us is when he does come back into play, we don’t skip a beat,” Wormley said. “And I think that’s what he’s working toward right now.” NOTES: All-Pro S Minkah Fitzpatrick and second-year WR Chase Claypool exchanged heated blows near the end of practice on Monday.
