Rapoport: Steelers ‘Good With’ With Troy Fautanu’s Injury History

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Washington OL Troy Fautanu in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft with their No. 20 overall selection, and Fautanu fell a little bit in the draft due to injury concerns. On the NFL Network broadcast of the Draft, NFL insider Ian Rapoport said that the team was comfortable with his injury history, which includes an ACL injury and a lisfranc injury.

“You wonder how a talented player lasts this long. There were certainly some injury concerns, first of all, the Steelers are good with the injuries. First of all, a previous ACL injury, some wear-and-tear potentially, down the road could need another injury there.
