The Steelers’ 2025 first-round defensive end, Derrick Harmon, was carted to the training room early in the second quarter tonight, a sight that surely sent shivers down the spines of everyone in Pittsburgh. He is currently listed as questionable to return with a foot injury.
Harmon’s Impact So Far This Season
It’s still unknown exactly how or when Harmon got hurt, but the immediate concern is massive. Even without stats on Thursday night, Harmon has been a presence this season, racking up 12 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and even forcing a fumble. He was a top pick for a reason, and losing him for any significant time would be a huge blow to that defensive line. You just hate to see a young player, especially a recent first-rounder, get sidelined like this so early in the game.
Early Season Injury Bug Hitting Hard
Harmon’s injury wasn’t even the only gut punch of the night involving a 2025 first-round pick. The Browns also saw their rookie, Mason Graham, go down with a knee injury in the first quarter, and he’s also questionable to return. It’s a brutal reminder that the regular season grind is already taking its toll, and these early-season injuries to key players can absolutely swing momentum for a team.
Here’s hoping Harmon’s foot injury isn’t as bad as it looked. Steelers fans are gonna be on edge waiting for updates on their young DE.
