Steelers' Troy Fautanu: 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.
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.

Steelers' Troy Fautanu: Likely out for season
Fautanu (knee) is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024 season after being placed on injured reserve Saturday, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Fautanu will have to miss at the least the next four games after being placed on IR, but his knee injury appears to be significant enough to keep him sidelined for the remainder of his rookie season. The first-round pick took over a starting role at right tackle Week 2, and his absence should leave Broderick Jones to step back into the lineup. Meanwhile, Fautanu will likely shift his focus toward getting healthy enough to return for a potential postseason run with Pittsburgh.

Steelers' Troy Fautanu: 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.
Fautanu sustained a knee injury during Friday's practice, and the injury is severe enough for the offensive lineman 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.

Steelers' Troy Fautanu: 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.
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 is the same knee in which he sustained an MCL sprain during training camp.

Steelers' Troy Fautanu: 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.
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.

Steelers' Troy Fautanu: Returns to practice
Fautanu (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports.
Fautanu suffered an MCL sprain in the Steelers' preseason opener and had been sidelined since. 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 and Friday in practice. He's expected to be the team's starter at right tackle if he can suit up Week 1, while Broderick Jones would likely handle the position in the event of Fautanu's absence.
