PITTSBURGH -- Standout rookie offensive lineman Troy Fautanu suffered a ‘little tweak’ in Friday’s practice, according to tackle Broderick Jones. Fautanu left the field early, and his status for Sunday is unknown. He will get an MRI after practice.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are just a few days away from their game with the Los Angeles and an injury popped up at practice that could provide one player an opportunity to earn his way back into the starting lineup.

Steelers first-round pick Troy Fautanu got the start at right tackle in last week's win over the Broncos, but he may not be available for this Sunday's game against the Chargers.

The Pittsburgh Steelers offense is averaging just 15.5 points per game through two games, and while there are a litany of reasons for that from the Steelers struggling on offense, the lack of explosive plays for a ball control offense might be the biggest reason.

Days away from making his second career start, Pittsburgh Steelers first-round tackle Troy Fautanu sustained an injury in Friday's practice.

NFL teams spend months together in the offseason working on their schemes and systems. There are no opponents to prepare for so the only thing teams need to do is get better at what it is they want to do during the season.
