Injuries continue to decimate the Pittsburgh Steelers along their offensive line. Rookie center Zach Frazier is the latest, as his ankle injury suffered against the Las Vegas Raiders will force him to miss Sunday’s game against the New York Jets.
That means it’s next man up — again — along the offensive line. Ryan McCollum is slated to make his first start for the Steelers on Sunday Night Football against the New York Jets.
Though he’s largely an unknown, having just one start in the NFL — that came in 2021 with the Detroit Lions — the Steelers and head coach Mike Tomlin are excited about the opportunity that lies ahead for McCollum, who has been a member of the Steelers since the 2022 season.
