Introduction

The Pittsburgh Steelers have new players. They are changing the positions of their line players.

Main Body

The team is waiting for Broderick Jones. He is hurt. If he cannot play, Troy Fautanu will play left tackle. Max Iheanachor will play right tackle. If Broderick Jones is healthy, he will play. Then Troy Fautanu can play in a different position. This helps a new player named Gennings Dunker learn the game. The team also has a new player. His name is Greg Crippen. He played for Michigan. The team told Sataoa Laumea to leave so Greg Crippen could join.

Conclusion

The Steelers have a plan for their players. They want the best players in the right spots.
