Whether or not the Pittsburgh Steelers line up with their third different starting right tackle this season will depend largely upon how Matt Feiler is feeling today after he returned to practice on a limited basis yesterday. It seems quite likely that Marcus Gilbert will be missing at least another week at this point, so failing Feiler’s health, 21-year-old rookie tackle Chukwuma Okorafor would be the one to line up in that spot on Sunday against Von Miller and the Denver Broncos.
Naturally, it has been a major source of discussion over the course of the past few days, so it’s no surprise that offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner was asked about Okorafor as well, and of the potential of him actually playing and starting along the offensive line.
