Pittsburgh Steelers get major update on critical offensive starter

PITTSBURGH --Pittsburgh Steelers guard Isaac Seumalo is questionable to play against the Indianapolis Colts, head coach Mike Tomlin said. Seumalo has a pectoral strain and did not play for most of the second half against the Green Bay Packers, but he hopes to play this week.

Tomlin says that Seumalo will be limited this week, but because he is a grizzly veteran, he needs less time to participate in games, and thus he could perk up late in the week and still play.

Seumalo suffered a pec strain last year before the season started, forcing him to miss three games.

Without him in there, it will be Spencer Anderson starting in his place. Anderson has been the team’s jumbo tight end over the last few games to great success. It has been their identity, and the Steelers have leaned into it. Yet, without him out there, the Steelers scrapped the jumbo package, instead moving into their base offense for the rest of the game.

The Steelers’ offensive line has been remarkably healthy for most of the season, with all the starters playing in each game, but Seumalo’s health looms on that front.

After Seumalo exited the game, the Steelers ran the ball just three times as they played from behind against the Packers who jumped out to a big lead.
