The bad news dropped on the evening of September 21, but an even worse update followed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSteelers have placed rookie RT\u00a0Troy Fautanu\u00a0on IR with a significant knee injury and the news is not good: He is expected to miss most if not all of the 2024 season, per sources,\u201d Pittsburgh Post-Gazette insider\u00a0Gerry Dulac informed\u00a0on Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p>Fautanu is expected to\u00a0seek a second opinion\u00a0on his knee, which he \u201ctweaked\u201d in Friday\u2019s practice according to teammate\u00a0Broderick Jones\u00a0(via ESPN beat reporter Brooke Pryor). But the outlook is\u00a0getting bleaker by the day.<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers have not decided whether or not Fautanu will be labeled as a \u201cdesignated to return\u201d after being placed on the injured reserve. NFL front offices can only\u00a0designate eight players\u00a0to return during the regular season, so you don\u2019t want to use a spot on a player until you confirm the severity of their injury.<\/p>\n<p>Steelers Depot shed some light\u00a0on this decision on September 21, posting: \u201cSteelers do not need to label Fautanu [designated to return] until [he is] actually ready to return, if he\u2019s actually able to. The reason that [offensive lineman]\u00a0Dylan Cook\u00a0and [outside linebacker]\u00a0Jeremiah Moon needed labeling as DTR was because they went to IR as part of cuts to 53-man roster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A midseason injury does not require as immediate of a decision.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steelers-Chargers Predictions Are Mixed Ahead of Week 3<\/h2>\n<p>The 2-0 Steelers will host the 2-0\u00a0Los Angeles Chargers\u00a0in Week 3, and as things currently stand, it\u2019s the\u00a0number one ranked defense\u00a0in the NFL (LAC) versus the number two ranked defense in the NFL (Pittsburgh).<\/p>\n<p>This will also be a battle of wits, however, as long-time Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin goes head-to-head against new Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh \u2014 who flaunts a highly impressive\u00a0NFL coaching record of his own at 46-19-1 all-time.<\/p>\n<p>A panel of\u00a0Sports Illustrated writers provided predictions\u00a0for this face-off of undefeated teams on September 21, and the results were mixed, leaning 4-2 in favor of Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlaying this game with a healthy\u00a0Justin Herbert\u00a0would have been tough for Los Angeles but even if Herbert can go, he will likely be a little hobbled,\u201d reasoned analyst Matt Levine. \u201cPittsburgh has been defined by its defense this season and playing in the Steel City is never easy for any team. It will be an ugly game offensively, but the Chargers finally meet their match this week and drop their first game of the season to the Steelers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the flip side, analyst Eva Geitheim predicted a \u201csignature win\u201d for Harbaugh and the Chargers. Geitheim added that \u201cthe big question will be if\u00a0[J.K.] Dobbins\u00a0can get going against this Steelers\u2019 run defense, which has been stout through two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyDenver Broncos players were fined three times by the NFL for actions against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
