The Pittsburgh Steelers were so impressed by rookie T Troy Fautanu that they pushed him into the starting lineup despite missing time due to a knee injury. The only problem is he injured his knee again after his first start. He will reportedly miss the rest of the season, with a chance of returning for the playoffs.
On Wednesday, OL coach Pat Meyer provided an update on Fautanu. “He’s obviously right now rehabbing his knee and working at it”, he said, via the Steelers’ website. “I’ve seen him in the training room. He’s working at it emphatically to get back as soon as he can.
