Steelers OG Trai Essex Likely To Start Over Darnell Stapleton

Pittsburgh Steelers RG Darnell Stapleton has a left knee injury that has kept him from practicing since Sunday. Stapleton, who started 15 games at right guard through the Super Bowl last season, opened training camp at center for injured Justin Hartwig. Veteran backup tackle/guard Trai Essex has been at right guard and is likely to stay there, no matter what happens with Stapleton.
