The Steelers have placed defensive linemen Stephon Tuitt, Isaiah Buggs and offensive linemen Jerald Hawkins on the Reserve/COVID list. Tuitt is the most prominent among these, and while he will have a good chance to return ahead of their presumed Tuesday game versus Baltimore, this is tough news for their defensive front. With 7 sacks, Tuitt is a crucial piece of their rush-heavy attack, and the team will have to hope that he was just a close contact and can test his way back onto the active roster.
