Offensive Line (9)

  1. Alejandro Villanueva
  2. Ramon Foster
  3. Maurkice Pouncey
  4. David DeCastro
  5. Marcus Gilbert
  6. B.J. Finney
  7. Chukwuma Okorafor
  8. Matt Feiler
  9. Jake Rodgers

The offensive line lost a big piece when Chris Hubbard landed in Cleveland. The starters will remain the same but he was a key depth piece and proved valuable with Gilbert’s injuries and suspension.

The depth will be tested as there will be two new faces. Okorafor will likely get the 53-man nod after Jerald Hawkins was lost for the year with an injury in OTAs.

Finney will serve as the interior backup as he can play all three interior spots. Okorafor will be the swing tackle to replace Hubbard.

Matt Feiler and Jake Rodgers could have been considered bubble players before the Hawkins injury but the two make the cut as the 8th and 9th linemen for Pittsburgh.
