Activated off active/PUP list
The Steelers activated Alualu (undisclosed) off the active/PUP list Monday.
ANALYSIS
Alualu missed all but two games last season due to a fractured ankle, but it remains unclear if that issue and his placement on the PUP list to start training camp had any correlation. Regardless, now that the 35-year-old veteran is healthy, he'll look to reclaim his spot on the interior of Pittsburgh's defensive line. Before his injury last season, the 2010 first-round pick had appeared in all but two regular-season games over his prior four campaigns with the Steelers.

Alualu sustained a fractured ankle in 2021 and missed all but two games as a result, but he should serve as the Steelers' starting nose tackle if he's healthy to begin the 2022 season. The 35-year-old appeared in 15 games in 2020 and logged 38 tackles (17 solo), two sacks, a forced fumble and five pass defenses.

Hoping to return to Pittsburgh
Alualu would like to re-sign with the Steelers for 2023, Noah Strackbein of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 36-year-old defensive tackle has spent the last six seasons in Pittsburgh, but after seeing limited snaps over 17 games last year, Alualu remains unsigned in the middle of the offseason. "I'm preparing like I will play this season," Alualu said late last month. "I can't tell where it's gonna be. But in a perfect world, I would love to be back with the Steelers and finish here. But I've been training and it felt normal." Alualu may have to wait for a team to get hit with injuries along the defensive line in camp before he gets an offer.
