In one of the Pittsburgh Steelers freak injuries of the season, first-round OT Troy Fautanu was lost for the year not during a game but a practice, dislocating his knee cap and landing on injured reserve days after making his first career NFL starter. Speaking to reporters Monday before the team heads home for the offseason, Fautanu explained how it happened.
As shared by the PPG’s Brian Batko, Fautanu hurt his knee trying to anchor into the ground in pass protection. Immediately, he knew he was hurt with an MRI confirming the team’s worst fears that led Fautanu to tears.
