Injury timeline revealed for Pittsburgh Steelers OT Troy Fautanu
Latrobe, Pa. — Pittsburgh Steelers rookie offensive tackle Troy Fautanu will miss the team’s game against the Buffalo Bills, head coach Mike Tomlin said after Sunday’s practice. The Steelers remain optimistic on a quick recovery and turnaround for Fautanu, but he could miss up to two weeks with the injury. Pittsburgh hopes that Fautanu will return against the Detroit Lions.
“From an injury standpoint, you guys got information on Troy [Fautanu] after the game. He’s got a knee sprain. He’ll be out this week, and I’ll just leave it at that. We’re really optimistic about a quick return from him, but we’ll take it day by day,” Tomlin said.
Before the injury, Fautanu played 25 snaps at right tackle. The Steelers had expected him to play a lot, and his trajectory seemed to be on a curve to the point where the Steelers would feel like upping his workload in the tackle competition. As for what that means now, there is no guarantee that Fautanu will get another chance at first-team reps, and Dan Moore Jr. and Broderick Jones feel like Week 1 starters.
“He’s doing really well. Obviously, we wanted to give him a lot of work because that’s where he is in development, but I like the general trajectory of it,” Tomlin said.
Moore has continued to stave off Fautanu, who has surged throughout training camp practices on the right side. There is no guarantee that Moore will start Week 1, either, especially if Fautanu can swiftly recover in time for the Lions game on August 24. However, if that does not come to fruition, it feels like an uphill battle for the rookie to start right away.

Can the Pittsburgh Pirates avoid being swept for the second straight series?
That’s the task at hand for the Pirates when they wrap up their three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. The winner of Sunday’s matchup will also take the season series, as both teams have won three games apiece through their six matchups.
The Pirates’ losing streak was extended to six with a 4-1 loss on Saturday despite having Paul Skenes on the mound. Skenes pitched six innings, struck out eight batters and allowed four earned runs, which is the most of his MLB career through 15 starts. The 6-foot-6 flamethrower had no answer for Gavin Lux, who drove in three of the four runs scored against Skenes.
Teoscar Hernandez added a solo home run in the fifth inning. Skenes is now 6-2 and has gone over a month without a win.
Pittsburgh had nine hits but didn’t crack the scoreboard until the ninth inning on a solo home run from Ke’Bryan Hayes. Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Bryan Reynolds and Michael Taylor each had two-hit games for the Pirates.
Pittsburgh will face a familiar face in Tyler Glasnow, who will get the start for the Dodgers. The 6-foot-8 right-hander spent the first two-plus seasons with the Pirates before getting traded midseason to the Tampa Bay Rays in 2018. Glasnow, 30, is 9-6 with a 3.54 earned run average in 127 innings and has struck out 164 batters in his first season with the Dodgers.
The Pirates will have 27-year-old left-hander Bailey Falter on the mount. Falter is 5-7 with a 3.87 ERA and has struck out 65 batters across 97.2 innings pitched.
