Stephon Tuitt Placed On COVID-19 List
4 years agoThe Pittsburgh Steelers placed defensive end Stephon Tuitt, defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs and offensive lineman Jerald Hawkins on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. Tuitt could be a big loss for the elite Steelers Defense with their game being moved to Tuesday night in Week 12 due to COVID-19 issues in the Ravens organization. The 27-year-old pass-rusher ranks ninth in fantasy points among defensive linemen in IDP leagues with 23 tackles, seven sacks and two forced fumbles in 10 games for Pittsburgh. It's unclear if Tuitt actually tested positive for the virus, but his status will be in question for Tuesday regardless. The Steelers defense has become riskier with the threat of the game being postponed, but if the game is played, they should be considered a top-10 fantasy unit with Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson out due to COVID-19.
