- ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported via Twitter that the Pittsburgh Steelers fear defensive end Stephon Tuitt may have suffered a season ending torn bicep during their victory over the Cleveland Browns. An MRI is scheduled for Monday.

- He recorded 22 stops against the run, which equated to a run-stop percentage (the percentage of a players run defensive snaps where he was responsible for a stop) of 8.8 percent, which ranked sixth among 44 qualifying 3-4 defensive ends.
- Tuitt also ranked sixth in total quarterback pressures recorded by 3-4 defensive ends with 46.
