Overview

• Head coach Mike Tomlin said postgame that Harmon sustained a knee sprain and was undergoing further evaluation.
• NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reported it is an MCL sprain with an expected absence of roughly four weeks, putting Week 1 in serious doubt.
• An MRI was scheduled to refine the prognosis after Harmon returned to the sideline in street clothes and walked to the bench under his own power.
• The rookie No. 21 pick had been tracking to start on the defensive line, with Isaiahh Loudermilk, Daniel Ekuale, and Yahya Black among internal options if he misses time.
