When the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted OT Troy Fautanu 20th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, the expectation was that he would be one of the team’s bookend tackles for the next decade. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac confirmed that when he reported that Fautanu would be the team’s starting right tackle to start the season.
Unfortunately for the Steelers and Fautanu, he sustained a knee injury in his first preseason game. But could he be back in time for the season opener at the Atlanta Falcons?
“I’m just focused on whatever I got this week,” Fautanu said per video from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette YouTube channel.
