I almost wrote this article back at the start of the month. A Pittsburgh Steelers O-line that enjoyed unusually good health was finally being beaten up. But the group was returning healthier, and they seemed to have weathered the storm. Turns out, regression to the mean is a witch, and Pittsburgh is battening down the hatches.
Troy Fautanu’s injury is the latest blow, his second knee injury in the last six weeks. It’s unclear when he’ll return, but it sure doesn’t sound like anytime soon. The more we hear about his injury, the worse the prognosis appears.
