En knæskade holder Steelers’ imponerende førsterundevalg ude resten af grundspillet.

Den offensive linjemand Troy Fautanu har pådraget sig en knæskade, som vil holde ham ude resten af grundspillet. Der er måske en chance for, at den store rookie kan komme tilbage på banen i slutspillet.

Steelers har allerde hentet en mulig erstatning for Fautanu.
