OL Uncertainty: Broderick Jones Injury, McCormick Future, Fautanu Move, Cook Emerges; Frazier Breakout Buzz

Broderick Jones' neck recovery timeline is a key roster concern; he could miss time and land on PUP/IR. A recent 53-man projection places him on PUP, opening the door for Dylan Cook at RT. Trade speculation with Rams continues; a recent article lists him among six players not safe from a surprise summer trade. Dylan Cook, who started 5 games last season with solid PFF grades, is emerging as a potential RT breakout candidate. Fautanu is moving to LT, and Anderson is competing at RG. Fautanu was named the most important Steeler not named Rodgers. A recent article suggests signing veteran OT Cam Robinson, though $13.1M price tag is steep. ESPN ranking article confirms Cook at RT and McCormick at LG. A team-issued OL preview confirms Fautanu anchoring either side and Frazier as the linchpin. A new article warns that Mason McCormick could be forced to leave sooner rather than later due to cap constraints. The article notes the chemistry between McCormick and Fautanu, and that guards are easier to replace. Additionally, ESPN analyst Solak says Zach Frazier could become NFL's best center, citing 2.7% pressure rate and 'best OL on rookie contract' claim, reinforcing Frazier as a long-term cornerstone. A new article highlights Frazier's snub from ESPN's top 10 interior OL ranking, adding a 'disrespect' narrative that fans will rally around.
