Pittsburgh Steelers inactives reveal Derrick Harmon decision for Week 3 vs. Patriots

The Pittsburgh Steelers will have rookie defensive lineman Derrick Harmon active for the first time this season when they take on the New England Patriots in Week 3.

According to the team's list of inactives for Sunday, Harmon is not on it, which means he's good to go for Sunday afternoon. However, it remains to be seen if Harmon will be limited at all.

The rookie got hurt in the final preseason game and didn't start practicing until this week. He did, however, get in a full practice on Friday after being limited the two days prior.

Regardless, Harmon's return is huge for the Steelers, a team that has struggled mightily on defense, and especially against the run.

Here's a look at the full list of inactives for both teams.
