Derrick Harmon, the Pittsburgh Steelers' first-round pick, suffered an MCL sprain in the preseason finale after being hit in the knee. The injury does not require surgery and is being treated on a week-to-week basis, with recovery timelines ranging from several weeks to about a month depending on severity. Harmon attempted to play through the pain before exiting to the locker room, then returned to the sideline by the fourth quarter. Rehabilitation is the immediate priority, with the goal of avoiding short-term injured reserve and returning to help the team for the season opener.
I thought it was serious, but it wasn't as serious. But still something [to] get rehab on and that's what my main focus is right now, is just to attack rehab and do what I've got to to get back on the field and help the team.
Injury is part of this game and at this level is part of what we do. So just trying to keep my hopes up and keep me mentally prepared and mentally focused.
I didn't know what it was at the time, that's why I was so in that mood, in that head space,
