Troy Fautanu made his preseason debut with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday. He checked in for the third offensive drive and played the rest of the first half. He did not play another snap, which didn’t raise any eyebrows at the time, as they start to get guys playing time at the bottom of the depth chart late in preseason games. But after Mike Tomlin’s press conference, he notified the media that Fautanu had suffered a knee injury.
Jeremy Fowler later reported that the injury was a mild MCL sprain. By that language, we can probably assume that it was a Grade 1 sprain which is typically a one or two week recovery.
