In PFF's 2021 NFL Redraft, the Pittsburgh Steelers passed on Najee Harris with Pick No. 24 and opted for an interior offensive lineman.

With a key Steeler down for a little while, Pittsburgh may rely on a duo of former Hawkeyes to help fill his shoes.

Because of the injury, the defensive tackle will begin the season on the injured list. Harmon was carted off the field after twisting his knee, but although he did not return to the game, he later reappeared on the sideline in good spirits.

Keeping that in mind, Rudolph received some potentially bad news following the team's preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers.

Rookie running back Kaleb Johnson generated more fantasy intrigue during the Steelers' preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers. Johnson averaged 4.8 yards per carry in the first half. He had the most touches between himself, Kenneth Gainwell and Jaylen Warren in the opening two quarters.

Carolina is expected to sit its top two quarterbacks, Bryce Young and Andy Dalton, giving the Steelers’ defense another potential edge early in the game. While the Panthers finalize a battle for the third QB spot, Skylar Thompson will try to wrap up the No. 3 QB job for Pittsburgh.

Greg Olsen (analyst) and sideline reporters Pam Oliver and Jamie Erdahl will work the league's Sept. 28 game in Dublin, Ireland between the Minnesota Vikings and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Defense wins championships. That's what we've heard and for the most part, experienced, over the past couple of decades.
