For Tyson Alualu, the 2021 season wasn’t anything close to what he had anticipated it would be. After re-signing with the Steelers that offseason he had high hopes for what was in store. Never in his wildest dreams did he think those hopes would be crushed by an injury he suffered during a Week 2 game vs. Las Vegas that ended up bringing his season to a crashing halt.
“It’s tough because I played this game for a long time,” said Alualu. “I never had an injury that kept me out for as long as I was out. For it to happen so early in a season was tough and devastating to know the season was cut really short.”
For a player like Alualu, one of the leaders on the defensive line, being on the outside looking in last season wasn’t easy.
