Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Stephon Tuitt is week to week with a biceps injury, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The Steelers reportedly feared the injury was much worse, and that Tuitt would miss the remainder of the season with a torn biceps, but Rapoport notes this injury won't end his campaign.

"He's OK," the source said.

Losing Tuitt for any amount of time will be a big loss for the Steelers, though, as the 24-year-old has emerged as one of the team's most important defenders, recording 10.5 sacks over the past two seasons.

Pittsburgh inked Tuitt to a six-year, $61-million deal Saturday, only a day before he suffered the injury against the Cleveland Browns.
