With rookie offensive tackle Troy Fautanu lost for much of the year due to a significant knee injury suffered during last Friday’s final practice before the home opener against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Pittsburgh Steelers were in search of a veteran offensive tackle with swing abilities. They found that option quickly, signing veteran Calvin Anderson to the roster Monday after placing Fautanu on Injured Reserve.
In Calvin Anderson, the Steelers are getting a veteran offensive tackle with 46 career games and 14 career starts under his belt, with two of those starts coming at right tackle.
