Steelers Insider Believes Troy Fautanu And Roman Wilson Will Be Inactive Week 1

The Pittsburgh Steelers could take the field against the Atlanta Falcons without two of their top three drafted rookies. After first round pick OT Troy Fautanu suffered a sprained MCL in the preseason opener and third round WR Roman Wilson has been rehabbing from an ankle injury since the first padded practice, insider Ray Fittipaldo believes both will be in street clothes come Sept. 8.

Appearing on 93.7 The Fan Thursday, Fittipaldo thinks both rookies will be inactive for the regular season opener.

“I’m gonna say he’ll be inactive at this point,” he told The Fan’s Andrew Fillipponi.
