PITTSBURGH -- The Steelers will be without starting left guard Isaac Seumalo for the season opener in Atlanta, coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday.

Seumalo sustained what was feared to be a serious a pectoral injury in last week's practice, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter, but Tomlin expressed optimism about Seumalo's trajectory beyond Week 1.

"We did get good news regarding his pec injury," Tomlin said. "We'll characterize as his week-to-week, and we'll see where next week leads us, but really optimistic about his return sooner rather than later."

With Seumalo out, second-year lineman Spencer Anderson, a former seventh-round pick, is slated to get his first NFL start against the Falcons.
