Tuitt retires

Steelers DE Stephon Tuitt has announced his retirement. The 29-year-old sat out the 2021 season while dealing with a knee injury and the death of a younger brother. Teammates had indicated they anticipated him returning this year. Pittsburgh loses the starting DE opposite Cameron Heyward. But the team returns Chris Wormley, last year's primary fill-in, and added DeMarvin Leal in Round 3 of the NFL Draft.

Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the Steelers are considering placing DE Stephon Tuitt on IR to open the season. Tuitt missed all of training camp and preseason while dealing with a knee issue. That followed an offseason of missed workouts following a family tragedy. It all combines to create a lot of uncertainty surrounding Tuitt's 2021 campaign. The veteran lineman is coming off his best pro season, so he remains an intriguing stash for IDP leagues. But we have knocked him down our DL rankings.
