The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a tough blow when offensive tackle Troy Fautanu injured his knee. Now, he could miss the rest of the regular season. He is on injured reserve and will miss at least the next four weeks, yet Fautanu’s injury is serious enough for the Steelers to think he could miss the rest of the year.

It had been previously reported by ESPN reporter Adam Schefter that Troy Fautanu had suffered a knee injury and could be out indefinitely. He was scheduled to undergo further evaluation, but we now have confirmation that he will miss Week 3.

Fautanu is the third major injury Pittsburgh has suffered on the offensive front, as center Nate Herbig is out for the year with a torn rotator cuff, while offensive guard Isaac Seumalo has yet to play this season due to a pectoral injury. Another former first-round pick in Broderick Jones is expected to replace Fautanu on the right side.
