Steelers Avoid Worst-Case Injury Scenario With Derrick Harmon: Report

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Derrick Harmon is expected to miss a few weeks due to a foot injury, avoiding a season-ending scenario according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Harmon was carted off during Thursday's game against the Cleveland Browns and was subsequently seen wearing a walking boot, but his injury is not considered long-term.

The Steelers are considering whether to place Harmon on injured reserve, which would mandate a minimum absence of four games. Through four games this season, Harmon has tallied 12 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and a forced fumble, leaving Pittsburgh to manage potential challenges for its run defense in his absence.
