Just a week ago, the debate was whether second-year OG Spencer Anderson or rookie OG Mason McCormick would be the primary backup center after Nate Herbig was placed on season-ending IR. Now, after Isaac Seumalo’s injury, the debate has shifted to which of the two will be the starting left guard in Week 1.
Seumalo had several veteran days off throughout training camp. Both Anderson and McCormick got first-team reps in his absence, but it was Anderson who was the first off the bench. That also included the preseason games.
One Pittsburgh Steelers insider believes McCormick could ultimately get the Week 1 start.
