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.

This is a frustrating setback for the health of the Pittsburgh Steelers roster as a whole, which were set to welcome a few reliable starters back from injury in the coming weeks.
Broderick Jones will more than likely be his replacement for the foreseeable future. Mike Tomlin had confirmed that his benching in Week 2 was due to consistent penalties, and it will be interesting to see if these issues have been ironed out
While the Steelers will be without rookie Troy Fautanu when they take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3, the standard of victory hasn’t changed. The team has an opportunity to win this for their injured brethren, and will look to do so on September 22nd at 1:00 EST PM.
