Steelers Beat Writer Explains How Troy Fautanu Suffered Knee Injury

A Pittsburgh Steelers starting offensive lineman suffered a significant injury for the second time since breaking training camp. First, LG Isaac Seumalo injured his pec, and though he avoided a full tear and season-ending injury, he’s missed the first three games of the regular season. Friday, rookie OT Troy Fautanu was lost for potentially the rest of the season due to a knee injury. So what happened? Are the Steelers slinging sledgehammers at practice?

Appearing on the Steelers Audio Network prior to Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette beat writer Gerry Dulac offered a piece of insight as to what happened.
