The Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive line has shown significant improvement midway through the season, rising to No. 9 in Pro Football Focus rankings from No. 21 at the start. Coach Mike Tomlin praised the unit's collective growth, while rookie Troy Fautanu highlighted his standout performance against the Indianapolis Colts. With guard Isaac Seumalo out for the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers, the team may adjust its jumbo package strategy.
The Denver Broncos waived offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton on Saturday as a corresponding move after signing center Sam Mustipher from the Los Angeles Chargers' practice squad. Throckmorton, a 29-year-old swing lineman, had appeared in 12 games this season. Mustipher joins as backup to Alex Forsyth, who is filling in for injured starter Luke Wattenberg.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are grappling with significant injuries to their offensive line as they prepare for Week 16 against the Detroit Lions. Starting center Zach Frazier and left guard Isaac Seumalo both sat out Thursday's practice with triceps injuries, complicating the team's contingency plans. Veteran reporter Ray Fittipaldo highlighted how these absences could disrupt personnel groupings.
The Los Angeles Chargers secured a 27-20 victory over the Tennessee Titans in Week 9, but the win was overshadowed by a serious injury to left tackle Joe Alt. Alt suffered a high-ankle sprain on his right ankle, the same injury that sidelined him earlier this season, and may require surgery following a Monday MRI.
