After reports of Troy Fautanu's knee injury came out, Steelers fans wondered what potential signing Pittsburgh would make to alleviate some of the damage to the offensive line depth.  While Broderick Jones bounced back in a big way in Week 3 from his benching in Week 2, depth on the offensive line is now a concern.  However, it has been confirmed that 28-year old offensive lineman Calvin Anderson was brought in for a workout, and subsequently signed with the Steelers on Monday.

The workout was likely to identify if Anderson was in good health, as the offensive tackle has struggled with injury concerns and serious health issues his 2023 season as a Patriot.

While it's safe to say that the Steelers' offensive line room will benefit greatly, it appears that Calvin Anderson is also excited to put his helmet and pads on for the black and gold.  Steelers nation will welcome the 4-year player with open arms, as the beginning of the 2024 season is shaping up to be a fantastic start.
