After RT Chukwuma Okorafor suffered a concussion in Pittsburgh’s Week 3 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, backup tackle Joe Haeg was asked to step in and start against the Green Bay Packers Sunday in Lambeau Field. When Haeg was signed this offseason, it was projected by many that he would primarily serve as the backup/swing tackle at either spot should the starter go down as well as play the jumbo TE role in Pittsburgh’s heavy personnel that Zach Banner made famous when he first arrived with the team. With rookie fourth-round selection Dan Moore Jr. playing well in the preseason, he usurped Haeg on the depth chart and claimed the starting spot when Banner was placed on IR to start the season.
