The Pittsburgh Steelers just announced that, among others, projected starting right tackle Zach Banner would be placed on the Reserve/Injured List, meaning that he will have to miss at least the first three games of the season.
This wasn’t wholly unpredictable. He was limited during the preseason to just 12 snaps, and had not been practicing this week, with rookie Dan Moore Jr. working at left tackle and Chukwuma Okorafor sliding to the right side. This will likely be the starting lineup for at least the first three weeks of the season, and offensive coordinator Matt Canada was asked about that tackle combination during practice earlier today.
