The Steelers got two injury updates from Mike Tomlin after their preseason win over Carolina. Derrick Harmon’s knee issue is described as a knee sprain of some description, with Tomlin stressing it isn’t a ligament tear. Brandon Johnson exited with a foot injury and is still being evaluated. With the regular-season opener against the New York Jets arriving in under 20 days, Pittsburgh will weigh recovery timelines and roster implications as they finalize game plans.

Harmon’s status could influence the Steelers’ defensive line rotation early in the season, while Johnson’s status could narrow the receiver group and shift targets within the passing game. Fantasy managers should monitor the team’s updates closely, as losses at key depth positions often ripple into snaps and play-calling in Weeks 1 and 2.
