It wasn’t until Troy Fautanu asked for a knee brace during the preseason opener against the Houston Texans that the Pittsburgh Steelers coaching staff even realized he was injured. Can you really blame him for keeping it under wraps? He is entrenched in a battle for a starting role at right tackle, and it was his first time in NFL game action, even if it was just the preseason.
Regardless, he reportedly suffered a mild MCL sprain that held him out of the rest of the preseason. He told the media on Wednesday that he would be returning to practice on Monday and hopes to contribute in any way he can during the Week 1 contest.
