Healthy for OTAs Fautanu (knee) participated in Pittsburgh's OTAs on Tuesday.

Impact Fautanu was the Steelers' first-round draft pick in 2024 but suffered a knee injury during the team's Week 2 win over Denver that landed him on injured reserve for the remainder of his rookie season. Now healthy again, he should serve as the team's starting right tackle during the upcoming camapign.

Expected to return for OTAs Fautanu (knee) told reporters Monday that he will be "100 percent" for OTAs this offseason, Mark Kaboly of 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh reports.

Impact Fautanu, a 2024 first-round pick from Washington, sustained a season-ending knee injury in the Steelers' Week 2 win over the Broncos. However, his comments Monday suggest that he'll be ready to participate in Pittsburgh's offseason activities, typically beginning in late May. Fautanu is expected to compete with Broderick Jones for the Steelers' top right tackle spot once he returns to the field.

Steelers OL Troy Fautanu is reportedly out for the season with knee injury

Out for regular season Fautanu needs surgery to repair ligament damage to a dislocated kneecap and is out for the rest of the regular season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact The rookie right tackle could return if the Steelers make the playoffs, per Rapoport. Fautanu was placed on IR on Saturday after suffering the injury during practice Friday. Broderick Jones will likely step forward as the new starting right tackle.

Out for regular season Fautanu needs surgery to repair ligament damage to a dislocated kneecap and is out for the rest of the regular season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Likely out for the season Fautanu is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024 season after being placed on IR with a knee injury Saturday, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Fautanu was going to have to miss at the least the next four games after being placed on injured reserve, but it look like this knee injury is significant enough to keep him sidelined for the remainder of his rookie season. Therefore, the first-round pick will likely have to shift his focus to preparing for the 2025 campaign. The Steelers offensive line was considered one of the team's weakest units coming into the 2024 season, so Fautanu's absence certainly won't help ease these concerns moving forward.

Lands on IR with knee injury The Steelers placed Fautanu on injured reserve Saturday due to a knee injury, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Fautanu sustained a knee injury during Friday's practice, which was severe enough to be ruled out indefinitely, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Fautanu will undergo further testing to determine his recovery timeline, but by being placed on IR, the rookie first-round pick will be forced to miss at least the next four games. The earliest he can return will be Week 7 against the Jets on Oct. 20. Broderick Jones will hold down the starting right tackle job in Fautanu's absence.

Out indefintely with knee injury Fautanu injured his knee during Friday's practice session and will not play Sunday against the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Fellow tackle Broderick Jones told reporters after Friday's practice that Fautanu had "a little tweak" in his knee and is set to undergo an MRI to evaluate the severity of the injury, per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com. Fautanu made his NFL debut in Week 2 against Denver as he supplanted Jones for the starting right tackle job, but the former will be now sidelined for the foreseeable future. It's unclear whether the knee Fautanu injured Friday was the same knee in which he sustained an MCL sprain during training camp.

Pittsburgh Steelers hyped-up rookie Troy Fautanu impresses in NFL debut Pittsburgh Steelers rookie Troy Fautanu earned lots of praise for his NFL debut.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 • PENNLIVE.COM

Practices in full Thursday Fautanu (knee) was listed as a full participant during Thursday's practice session, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Fautanu has been working through a sprained MCL he sustained in Pittsburgh's preseason opener against Houston on Aug. 10. The rookie first-round pick opened the week as a limited participant Wednesday, but he was upgraded to full participation Thursday and he should be good to go for Week 1 against Atlanta. Fautanu is currently listed as the second right tackle on the Steelers' depth chart behind Broderick Jones.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Fautanu (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports.

Impact Fautanu suffered an MCL sprain in the Steelers' preseason opener, which had previously had him sidelined. The 2024 first-round selection still has a chance to make his NFL debut Sunday against the Falcons, but it will depend on whether he is able to ramp up his activity level Thursday or Friday in practice. If he can suit up Week 1, he's expected to be the team's starter at right tackle, if not, Broderick Jones should handle the position.
