Steelers’ defensive tackle Derrick Harmon was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday as he hopes to return from injured reserve ahead of Pittsburgh’s Week 10 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Harmon told media this week he was “100% healthy,” but was still taking things day-by-day in regards to a return to the lineup. He returned to practice on Wednesday for the first time since landing on IR on Oct. 10 with a foot injury.
The Steelers also got good news on safety DeShon
Elliott in Thursday’s practice report, with the veteran improving from limited on Wednesday with an ankle designation to a full participant on Thursday. Wide receiver Ben Skowronek (calf) and cornerbacks Brandin Echols (hamstring) and Doneiko Slaighter (hamstring) were also full participants on Thursday for the second straight practice.
Defensive tackle Cam Heyward was a non-participant for a second straight practice with a rest/non-injury designation, while T.J. Watt was limited, also with a rest designation. After resting Wednesday, tight end Darnell Washington was a full participant Thursday.
The Bengals have not released their Thursday injury report at the time of this writing.
