Pittsburgh Steelers rookie offensive tackle Troy Fautanu is expected to be sidelined “indefinitely” with the knee injury he suffered during Friday’s practice, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.
Fautanu “tweaked something” during Friday’s practice, teammate Broderick Jones said and was scheduled for an MRI. The exact nature of the injury still isn’t known but it doesn’t sound like Fautanu will return anytime soon.
It’s the second knee injury he’s suffered over the last six weeks, spraining his MCL in the preseason opener and missing the remainder of the summer. It’s not known if this injury is the same left knee he injured previously.
