Fautanu needs surgery to repair ligament damage to a dislocated kneecap and is out for the rest of the regular season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie right tackle could return if the Steelers make the playoffs, per Rapoport. Fautanu was placed on IR on Saturday after suffering the injury during practice Friday. Broderick Jones will likely step forward as the new starting right tackle.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could return for playoffs
Fautanu was placed on injured reserve Saturday due to a dislocated kneecap and is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season, but he could return if the Steelers make the playoffs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The Washington product was selected 20th overall in the 2024 Draft and made his NFL debut in Week 2, but Fautanu's stint as Pittsburgh's starting right tackle didn't last long as he suffered a season-ending knee injury in practice Friday. Broderick Jones will step back into the starting lineup in the rookie's place.
