Troy Fautanu Expected To Miss Two Weeks

3 months ago

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie offensive lineman Troy Fautanu (knee) suffered an MCL sprain in the team's preseason debut on Friday, but it was expected to be a minor injury. After an update from Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, it looks like the rookie will only miss two weeks. While that means he's likely to miss most of the preseason, he should be ready to go when the regular season starts. Fautanu is still listed as second on the depth chart behind Dan Moore Jr. right now and this injury may delay his shot at getting into the starting lineup. The Steelers used their first-round pick on the Washington product, so there's still an expectation of getting him in the lineup to help boost their run blocking.
