Fautanu (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports.
Fautanu suffered an MCL sprain in the Steelers' preseason opener and had been sidelined since. The 2024 first-round selection still has a chance to make his NFL debut Sunday against the Falcons, but it will depend on whether he is able to ramp up his activity level Thursday and Friday in practice. He's expected to be the team's starter at right tackle if he can suit up Week 1, while Broderick Jones would likely handle the position in the event of Fautanu's absence.
