Calvin Anderson, an offensive tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was limited on Friday due to a groin injury sustained during practice. Due to his injury, Anderson may not play in Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Steelers will probably utilize Max Scharping as depth if Anderson is unable to play, and Spencer Anderson may be the backup tackle. The Steelers may promote one of Dylan Cook or Doug Nester to play if they don’t want to take that path.
Dan Moore Jr. and Broderick Jones have both participated in every Steelers game this season. Anderson was signed as the backup tackle soon after the team lost rookie Troy Fautanu to a dislocated kneecap early in the season. Fortunately for the Steelers, they have not taken many hits since and have managed offensive line ailments admirably.
Although Anderson has spent more time at tackle this season after Fautanu’s injury, his absence would eliminate a veteran alternative.
