‘He’s Gonna Be Active:’ Ray Fittipaldo Believes Troy Fautanu Will Dress As Backup Tackle

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie offensive tackle Troy Fautanu practiced in full today after suffering a knee injury in the team’s preseason opener against the Houston Texans, and Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette believes Fautanu will dress on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1. While Fautanu will dress, Fittipaldo said he’ll be the backup tackle behind Dan Moore Jr. and Broderick Jones.

“He’s gonna be active. If you look at the way their offensive line is constructed now, [Dan] Moore’s gonna start at left, [Broderick] Jones will start at right. And they don’t really have any backup options at tackle.
