Spencer

Anderson

Seumalo suffered a pectoral injury last Wednesday and may experience a multi-week absence to begin the year. Second-year backup Spencer Anderson will start in his stead. RT Troy Fautanu (knee) was promisingly listed as a limited participant on Wednesday.

The good news is that it’s been determined that Seumalo did not suffer a season-ending injury according to Adah Schefter of ESPN. The bad news is that it does appear to be an injury that is going to cause the 6-foot-4, 303-pound offensive lineman to miss some time, and the team is still determining just how long that will be. If Seumalo isn’t available for the opener — and that appears likely at this time — Spencer Anderson would likely open the year as their starting left guard.

Pittsburgh add depth to their offensive line with a player in Anderson who would play guard or tackle. He’ll compete to make a roster spot as a seventh-round pick.
