The Pittsburgh Steelers experienced significant offensive line struggles during their preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers. Troy Fautanu, who switched to left tackle, conceded a sack and multiple pressures, alongside committing a false-start penalty and a holding call that nullified a touchdown. This follows a strong showing from Dylan Cook at left tackle last season, raising questions about the decision to switch their positions.
