Mike Tomlin: ‘There’s No Guesswork’ In RT Competition With Young Tackles Competing Against T.J. Watt

By this point in time, it seems readily apparent that the Pittsburgh Steelers’ plan is to move into the 2020 season with a new starting right tackle, barring disaster. While Stefen Wisniewski has had the opportunity to get some first-team reps with either David DeCastro or Maurkice Pouncey sitting out, Matt Feiler is entrenched at the left guard position, leaving Chukwuma Okorafor and Zach Banner to duke it out on the right side of the line.

While Okorafor is currently dinged with a shoulder injury that is hopefully not significant, the team has already previously stated that they are prepared for this competition to go down to the wire—in other words, just before the regular season starts.
