The Pittsburgh Steelers have benched offensive tackle Broderick Jones in favor of rookie Troy Fautanu for their Week 2 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Jones struggled in his brief playing time, committing three penalties in just seven plays, including a holding call that negated a significant pass play. Analysts and fans express concern over Jones's development, arguing that the team's rotation strategy has harmed his confidence and performance. Despite Jones being the team's first-round pick in 2023, the Steelers are prioritizing immediate results with Fautanu and left tackle Dan Moore Jr. moving forward. Jones acknowledges his need for improvement and will use this opportunity to hone his skills from the bench. The Steelers aim to optimize their offensive line by starting their best five players, which now includes Fautanu at right tackle.
