Report: Steelers to make Troy Fautanu starting right tackle

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ plan at both tackle spots has been up in the air all offseason. However, there seems to be more clarity as the regular season is now just a month away.

According to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Steelers will be starting Troy Fautanu at right tackle when the regular season comes around.

“After three weeks of training camp and just one preseason game, [the Steelers] are ready to hand the starting right tackle job over to their No. 1 draft choice,” Dulac wrote. “They planned to start him in Saturday night’s preseason game against the Buffalo Bills and leave him there for the start of the regular season until her injured his knee Friday night against the Houston Texans.
