The Pittsburgh Steelers have only played the Cleveland Browns once over the course of the past 11 years without Joe Thomas commanding the left tackle position for literally every single snap. The future 2024 first-ballot Hall of Famer suffered a season-ending injury mid-year in 2017 and elected to retire this offseason.
As of this moment, the Browns are not actually 100 percent sure who is going to line up at left tackle for them when the Steelers come to town to face them in the season opener. Veteran left guard Joel Bitonio was moved their after their alternatives—Shon Coleman, who was traded, and Spencer Drango, who was released—struggled in training camp and the preseason.
