PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers starting right tackle Troy Fautanu injured a knee in practice Friday and is sidelined indefinitely, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The 2024 first-round pick was slated to make his second career start against the Chargers on Sunday, but fellow tackle Broderick Jones confirmed Fautanu had "a little tweak" in Friday's practice, and he would be getting an MRI to evaluate the severity of the injury.

"We really don't know what his status is going to be," Jones said of Fautanu. "I filled in for him and then just going to roll from there after he gets his MRI and stuff, and we'll just figure out what's going on from there.
