The Pittsburgh Steelers will be without veteran defensive end Stephon Tuitt for the second consecutive game when they face the Broncos on Sunday in Denver.

Tuitt had not practiced since the Nov. 8 game against the Carolina Panthers because of an elbow injury. He was away from the team some last week while his wife was giving birth to the couple's second child.

Tyson Alualu started last Sunday's win at Jacksonville in Tuitt's place. Javon Hargrave and L.T. Walton also had increased roles.

Outside linebacker Anthony Chickillo practiced fully for the third consecutive day and will play against the Broncos. Chickillo suffered an ankle injury late during the win at Jacksonville.
