Pittsburgh Steelers OT Troy Fautanu showed off his toughness in the team’s preseason opener, playing through a knee sprain that he suffered in the first quarter. While it wasn’t known exactly when Fautanu suffered the injury, he told reporters that he hurt his knee at the end of the first quarter and played through it, but at halftime was when he realized something was actually wrong with his knee.
“I was not gonna stop playing, I was like, I barely got my feet wet, decided to keep playing in the second quarter. Told them to throw some tiger balm on it, and just kept going.
