The Pittsburgh Steelers will start the season without one of their top rookies. Defensive tackle Derrick Harmon is expected to be out for a month after being diagnosed with an MCL sprain, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Harmon suffered a knee injury during the Steelers’ third and final preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday. The rookie was carted off the field as a result of the injury.

Harmon was selected 21st overall by the Steelers out of Oregon.
