Steelers OTAs Highlight Offensive-Line Shuffle and Jones’ Recovery

At Steelers OTAs, Fautanu and McCormick swapped tackle sides, with Fautanu insisting he doesn’t want to play guard but could if needed; Jones did not participate in team periods due to a neck injury, keeping his 2026 status unclear. If Fautanu stays at tackle, Max Iheanachor and Dylan Cook would contest the right tackle spot, while a guard role could open with Semualo gone. Training camp will determine Jones’ return and the final offensive-line arrangement.
