Surprise! Reports indicate that Pittsburgh Steelers fans may be in store for a peek at their offensive line of the future in Week 2’s showdown against the Denver Broncos. Rookie Troy Fauntanu could potentially make his first NFL start, Alan Saunders of Steelers Now reports.
Fautanu got work with the first-team offense in practices on both Wednesday and Thursday, returning healthy just last week from a knee injury (MCL) suffered during the preseason. Earning a spot in the start lineup would certainly be a testament to the ability he’s shown with the team to this point, given the team’s typical hesitancy of throwing rookies into the fire early on.
