The Steelers' defensive line took a hit in the second quarter of Thursday night's game against the Browns, with 2025 first-round pick Derrick Harmon carted to the locker room after sustaining a foot injury.
Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter): Steelers DE Derrick Harmon was carted to the locker room due to a foot injury. Browns DL Mason Graham hobbled to the locker room due to a knee injury.
Harmon was ruled out for the remainder of the contest, with reports noting a boot on his left foot as he left the field. The injury came while Pittsburgh was already trailing, adding to the team's concerns about depth along the defensive front.
Harmon has been a key part of the Steelers' defensive line rotation as a defensive tackle/end hybrid, valued for his run-stopping ability while continuing to develop as a pass rusher. Through the first three games of the season he recorded 1.5 sacks, two quarterback hits and a tackle for loss, and he delivered a strip-sack in Pittsburgh's Week 4 win over the Bengals.
His absence is a notable early-season setback for the 2025 first-round pick and leaves the Steelers thinner up front as they try to slow a Browns offense that came out firing. The team will be monitoring the severity of the foot injury, with the immediate concern being how the defensive line holds up for the remainder of the night.
