94 Tyson Alualu DE

Alualu had two tackles during Sunday's 16-13 win over Cincinnati

The nine-year veteran finished his second season the Steelers totaling 22 tackles in 15 games. The 22 tackles were the fewest in a season for Alualu, who also failed to record a sack for the first the first time in his career. An unrestricted free agent, it remains to be seen if he will be back in Pittsburgh for the 2019 season.

Alualu (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Alualu came away from Sunday's season opener with an unspecified shoulder injury, and his absence from Wednesday's practice isn't a good sign. It's still premature to rule him out for Week 2, though the defensive end is best considered questionable at this juncture.

Alualu should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Expected to serve as Stephon Tuitt's backup, Pittsburgh may ask reserve left defensive end Leterrius Walton to play an increased rotational role if Alualu misses any time.
