Report: Steelers fear Tuitt tore biceps 1 day after signing $61M extension
by from on (#31S0X)
The Pittsburgh Steelers fear defensive end Stephon Tuitt tore his biceps - which would end his season - during Sunday's victory over the Cleveland Browns, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Tuitt signed a six-year contract extension worth $61 million on Saturday.
He'll undergo an MRI on Monday.
Tuitt recorded 37 tackles, four sacks, and two forced fumbles in 14 games last season.
Stephon Tuitt said after the game, "We'll know more tomorrow," about his biceps injury. Doesn't look good.

It would be a crushing loss for the Steelers' defense if Tuitt misses significant time with the injury.
