Pittsburgh Steelers left tackle Troy Fautanu is listed as questionable for the matchup against the New England Patriots on September 20, 2026. Fautanu left the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons with an ankle issue, but he was a limited practice participant on Thursday and a full participant on Friday. If Fautanu plays, Dylan Cook will operate at right tackle, with rookie Max Iheanachor also in the mix for substitutions. The game also marks the absence of cornerback Joey Porter Jr. and receiver Michael Pittman Jr., who were ruled out due to injuries.
