Mike Tomlin said Derrick Harmon was healthy enough to play vs. the Dolphins, but the Steelers held him out to get more practice reps.

Ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Dolphins, Steelers rookie DL Derrick Harmon provided a promising injury update.

The Steelers drafted Harmon at No. 21 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. The rookie has posted 22 combined tackles, including one tackle for loss, four quarterback hits, and two sacks this season. He also has one pass defense and one fumble recovery.

The Pittsburgh Steelers won't have two young players in the lineup for the Week 15 game against the Miami Dolphins, as wide receiver Roman Wilson and defensive lineman Derrick Harmon are both inactive.

On Tuesday, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin noted that starting defensive lineman Derrick Harmon is out this week with a knee injury.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters Tuesday rookie Derrick Harmon will be limited to begin preparations for Week 15.

The Steelers made the defensive tackle from Oregon their first-round draft pick. Harmon then missed the first two games of the season with a knee injury. Another knee injury has forced Harmon to sit out the last two games.

The Steelers gave up 249 rushing yards to the Bills in their 26-7 loss and Harmon’s absence won’t do anything to help the team’s run defense against Baltimore. Harmon, who was a first-round pick in April, has 22 tackles, two sacks, and a fumble recovery in nine games this season.
