PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers left guard Isaac Seumalo is questionable for the team's Week 11 game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
Seumalo was limited on Wednesday and Thursday before not practicing on Friday. His status seems very much up in the air.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin revealed during his Tuesday press conference that he's optimistic that Seumalo being able to return for Sunday's game against the Bengals. Seumalo was out for Sunday night's game against the Los Angeles Chargers due to a pectoral injury.
Seumalo first suffered the pectoral injury in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers . He returned to that game once before being eventually ruled out. Two weeks ago, he practiced only on Friday and in a limited fashion, but was able to start the game against the Indianapolis Colts . He played the first half before being ruled out for the rest of the game in the second half.
Each time Seumalo has missed time this season, he's been replaced by third-year backup Spencer Anderson . Veteran Andrus Peat started at left guard instead, however, and Anderson served as the sixth offensive lineman in the jumbo package. Anderson then started at left guard on the following drive and the rest of the game.
Heading into Week 10, Anderson played 108 snaps of offense this season, both playing as Seumalo's backup and as a tight end in the team's jumbo offensive package.
It was the first time this season the Steelers started anyone other than their five first-team offensive linemen.
