Tuitt made five tackles and 1.5 sacks in Sunday's 38-29 win over the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Although his tackle count is low, Tuitt's off to a hot start this season with 3.5 sacks and 11 quarterback pressures through four games. The 2014 second-round pick is second to T.J. Watt for the team lead in sacks as well. Tuitt has played at least 70 percent of the defensive snaps in every game this year as well, so this production is sustainable if he can stay healthy.

Tuitt totaled four tackles (two solo) including a sack in the Steelers' 28-21 Week 3 win over the Texans Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
With two sacks in three games Tuitt is on pace to shatter his career-best 6.5 sacks during the first full season, and only the second of his career. Pittsburgh trailed at halftime for the first time this season, but the defense held Houston to just 51 yards and two first downs after the break.

Tuitt (Achilles) was a full participant for Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tuitt popped up on the injury report Wednesday with an Achilles issue that he may have suffered in Week 1 against the Giants. Now healthy, expect the veteran to handle his normal starting duties at defensive end.

Tuitt (Achilles) did not practice Wednesday, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazzette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tuitt notched one tackle and a single sack during Monday's 26-16 win over the Giants, but he also appears to have picked up an Achilles issue during the contest. The starting defensive end will have two more chances to up his level of practice activity before Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Tuitt (undisclosed) is not listed on Thursday's injury report, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tuitt has fully recovered from the undisclosed injury he managed during training camp. The veteran defensive end is on track for Monday's game against the Giants, though his lack of consistent upside as a pass rusher leaves him without a safe fantasy floor in IDP formats.

Tuitt (undisclosed) didn't participate in Saturday's practice, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tuitt missed the final 10 games of the 2019 season due to a torn pectoral muscle, and now he's hampered by another injury. Nothing signals that this injury is related to his pectoral injury, but it's worth keeping an eye on Tuitt's progress, as he's in line to start at defensive end again this season.

Tuitt (pectoral) should retain his starting spot at defensive end for 2020, Tim Benz of the Pittburgh Tribune-Review reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old had a strong start to the season with 3.5 sacks through six games, but he suffered a torn pectoral Week 6 and required season-ending surgery. Tuitt should play a significant role up front for the Steelers in 2020, especially with the offseason departure of Javon Hargrave.

Tuitt (pectoral) was off to a strong start in 2019 with 3.5 sacks through six games before suffering a season-ending injury.
EDGE Analysis
On pace for a career-best nine sacks before getting hurt, Tuitt finished the 2019 season with 22 tackles, including 3.5 sacks. Under contract until 2023, he is expected to assume the starting left end position in 2020 if healthy. This would impact the playing time of Tyson Alualu and would be a significant upgrade to a defensive unit that already led the league in sacks and takeaways, while also allowing the fifth-fewest yards and points.

Tuitt (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
It was already reported Monday that Tuitt would miss the remainder of the 2019 season with a torn pectoral, so Tuesday's transaction is simply a formality. Tyson Alualu will likely take over in Tuitt's absence for the remainder of the campaign.

Tuitt will miss the rest of the season after an MRI confirmed he tore his pectoral in Sunday's loss to the Chargers, Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tuitt's injury will require surgery, and he will now set his sights on recovering for the 2020 season. Tyson Alualu took over in his absence following the injury, and is presumably in line to start at defensive end going forward.
