For Pittsburgh Steelers fans hoping to see a return to a dominant rushing attack, their 2024 first and second draft picks seemed ideal. Center Zach Frazier stepped in to start when veteran Nate Herbig sustained a shoulder injury and looks like he was born for the role. Despite some competition at left and right tackle, Troy Fautanu returned from an MCL sprain and performed well in Denver.
Just when it looked like Fautanu had secured his place at right tackle in the starting lineup, he was sidelined by injury. Once again, it was a knee problem.
