Sunday’s game was the first of the season for David DeCastro, the veteran ninth-year offensive lineman who missed the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first two games while recovering from a knee injury that he suffered at some point in the middle of training camp. The team started two different guards in his place in the two games he missed.
You don’t normally want to have musical chairs along your offensive line, and DeCastro’s return will return stability to that group, the starting five for the rest of the year now in place. The backfield, however, is a place where you are likely to see a number of moving parts as the simple natural progression of the game.
