Steelers injury updates: Will DT Derrick Harmon play vs the Bills?

We are still five days from the Pittsburgh Steelers showdown against the Buffalo Bills but we have a couple of troubling injury updates. Head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the media on Tuesday and said that starting defensive lineman Derrick Harmon is out for this week's game with a knee injury.

Harmon missed the first two games of the season with a MCL sprain suffered during the preseason. According to Tomlin, this is not the same injury from the start of the year. Tomlin couldn't even confirm if it was the same knee.

Despite the slow start, Harmon was playing well as a rookie. The Steelers selected Harmon in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft out of Oregon. Some have criticized the Steelers passing on an offensive playmaker for Harmon and a second injury in the season will only fuel that criticism.

Tomlin has also ruled out offensive tackle Broderick Jones for this week's game. Jones suffered a neck stinger against the Bears.
