Steelers First-Round Pick Makes NFL Debut

He was listed with a "questionable" game designation, though he's officially ready to go and has shed any injury label vs. New England.

With that being said, though, defensive coordinator Teryl Austin noted earlier in the week that the team will likely ease Harmon back into a normal workload instead of just throwing him to the wolves right out of the gate.

"We'll see where he ends up at the end of the week, but I think, if it does come to it, we'll be pretty judicious with his snaps and try to work him back," Austin said. "More importantly, he's probably going to be lacking some football conditioning, football shape. So, you don't want to throw a guy in there that's really not quite ready in those regards."

Listed as a starter on each of Pittsburgh's depth charts up to this point, Harmon is a versatile chess piece who can be used in multiple different alignments on the team's front due to his pass-rushing prowess.

He should also contribute as a run defender, which will be crucial for a unit that's allowed 149.5 yards per game on 4.4 yards per attempt.

Though Harmon's return means there will be less snaps to go around, the Steelers' depth options such as Daniel Ekuale and Esezi Otomewo should still have plenty of opportunities to see the field considering the fact that Isaiahh Loudermilk was placed on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain this week.
