Pittsburgh Steelers OT Troy Fautanu suffered an MCL sprain in the team’s preseason opener against the Houston Texans, and after doing individual work during practice on Monday, he took live reps for the first time since the injury in practice today, Fautanu told Mike DeFabo of The Athletic.
It’s a good sign for Fautanu’s availability for Sunday, although the chances he starts at this point are slim. The Steelers are likely going to roll with Dan Moore Jr. at left tackle and Broderick Jones at right tackle, where Fautanu would’ve played, although Fautanu will likely have an opportunity to crack the starting lineup sooner rather than later.
