2025 Fantasy Outlook
Harmon spent his first three collegiate seasons at Michigan State before transferring to Oregon for the 2024 season. He improved each year and was selected 21st overall by the Steelers in the 2025 NFL Draft. Harmon racked up 45 tackles (27 solo), including five sacks and 11 tackles for a loss, four pass defenses, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 2024. Larry Ogunjobi signed with Buffalo this spring, so Harmon should have a chance to see a full-time role as a rookie. Read Past Outlooks

Knee - MCL
September 9, 2025
Head coach Mike Tomlin announced Tuesday that Harmon (knee) has been ruled out for the Steelers' Week 2 contest against the Seahawks on Sunday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Harmon is recovering from an MCL sprain that he suffered toward the tail end of training camp. The timeline for a return is 4-to-6 weeks, so the rookie first-rounder could be available to make his NFL regular-season debut Week 3 against the Patriots on Sunday, Sept. 21. Isaiahh Loudermilk started in the Steelers' Week 1 win over the Jets and will continue to serve that role for as long as Harmon is sidelined.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Sidelined by knee sprain
DTPittsburgh Steelers
August 22, 2025
The injury Harmon suffered in the Steelers' preseason game against the Panthers on Thursday is an MCL sprain, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie first-round pick suffered the injury while trying to reach Panthers quarterback Jack Plummer in the second quarter. Harmon left the field on a cart, but he was back on the Steelers' bench by the fourth quarter, which seemed to portend an injury that wasn't as severe as it originally seemed. However, Pryor reports Harmon is still expected to need several weeks to recover, making him a candidate for short-term injured reserve and a corresponding four-game absence to start the 2025 campaign.
