The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line is facing a tremendous task this training camp and preseason, to develop into a cohesive unit that can drive an improved ground game forward despite only one projected starter returning at his same position from the 2020 season.
Injuries over four days of camp have not helped make that task any easier for the players. Projected starting left guard Kevin Dotson and projected tackles Chukwuma Okorafor and Zach Banner have missed some or all of camp and padded practices thus far. Add in additional injuries to players like B.J. Finney, J.C. Hassenauer, and Anthony Coyle, and the line is thinned out considerably.
