When the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night, the Steelers will have to take on one of the best offenses in the NFL. But they might have some reinforcements. On Saturday, the team activated defensive tackle Derrick Harmon from the Reserve/Injured list, meaning there's a good chance he could play on Sunday.
Harmon suffered a foot injury in the team's Week Four game against the Cleveland Browns. Despite being something of a one-dimensional run stuffer, Harmon flashed legitimate improvement this season as a pass rusher and his return cannot come soon enough. The Steelers are preparing to square off with Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and the more pressure the Steelers can put on him, the better. Keeanu Benton will
go back to being a rotational player and give Pittsburgh great depth on the defensive line.
To make room for Harmon, the team also waived cornerback Terrell Smith.
