The Pittsburgh Steelers were hoping that they had their offensive line set once David DeCastro worked his way back from a knee injury that he suffered during training camp, and which held him out of the first two games of the season. While DeCastro was out, right tackle Zach Banner was also lost for the season, but his training camp competitor, Chukwuma Okorafor, stepped in to fill his place.
The veteran All-Pro guard made it back into the field for game three and played well in a victory over the Houston Texans, including on the pull, even if his strength over the course of his career has slid more to pass protection.
