The offensive tackle competition was thrown for a loop when first-round rookie OT Troy Fautanu suffered a knee injury during the preseason opener against the Houston Texans a few weeks ago. It has resulted in the team sticking with the status quo for now, that being Dan Moore Jr. on the left side and Broderick Jones on the right.
Accoridng to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Brian Batko on X, Troy Fautanu appears to be making positive strides in his return from injury. Below he can be seen working on some pass sets at the beginning of practice. He is still wearing a brace on his left leg, and he isn’t wearing a helmet like some of his other teammates.
