Hoffman will start at right guard against the Bengals on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Hoffman operated in a depth role through the first two regular-season games, but he'll work with the first-team offense Sunday as the Steelers overhaul the right side of the offensive line, with Max Iheanachor starting at right tackle. Spencer Anderson and Dylan Cook will be the depth options behind Hoffman and Iheanachor for Week 3.
