The Pittsburgh Steelers experienced something extraordinary in 2022 along their offensive line. The starting five played almost the entire season together. The only players who missed time, and no one missed an entire game, were center Mason Cole with a foot injury and Chuks Okorafor with a shoulder injury. Both of those players’ time missed would be deemed in snaps, not games, missed.
Heading into 2023, the Steelers organization wasn’t about to bet on that lucky fortune happening a second time. That would be why they acquired players like Isaac Seumalo, Le’Raven Clark and Nate Herbig in free agency.
