First-round rookie OT Troy Fautanu was injured during Fridays preseason opener against the Houston Texans. He played throughout the first half, but failed to finish the game. It wasn’t until after Mike Tomlin’s press conference that he noticed Fautanu had a knee injury and passed that information along to the media.
According to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac on X, Troy Fautanu is expected to miss two weeks with the knee injury.
